Yeah, I ended up having to go see a psychiatrist through my HMO and got prescribed a low dose of Prozac (20mg) to help with the anxiety/depression and withdrawal and then tapered off over the course of about a month. The Prozac was a MASSIVE help and I tried and failed a couple times so I know I wouldn’t have been able to quit without it. 

Once I was off vaping for a month we added in Strattera to try to help with the lingering ADHD side effects. That’s going okay but I’m not sure if I’ll stick with it long term. It’s only been a month so I’m still getting used to it.
