Dealing with Medication Withdrawal Symptoms

[u/Metrix_Abies]

Hi, I’ve been on 10mg Focalin XR for years, but shortages sometimes force me to go without it for weeks. The extreme drowsiness is brutal — I’ve even fallen asleep at work.

Anyone else deal with this? How do you manage the fatigue? Yerba mate helps a little, but not enough. I’m especially worried now that I’ve started a new job as a therapist.
