    sounds like a question for your doc...did you decide on your own to stop the meds or under a doc's advice?

    he told me it was up to me rather i wanted to keep taking them or not..they are very addictive and always made me crash after they wore off..

    This is totally a topic for your doctor!
    Buuut, do you exercise? It will always help to increase your energy 3-4 hrs post exercise.

    also curious if you weaned off gradually or went off suddenly? If you wean off you'll have less severe withdrawal symptoms (and sluggishness after stopping taking those kinds of drugs is likely withdrawal symptoms)

    I did not taper off of them, but it has been 2 weeks since i stopped taking them..

    that could be the issue that the meds were stopped cold turkey. when stopped suddenly, especially if they were taken for a long time, the symptoms could last a while plus be severe even if it has been two weeks. if meds were taken for a long time it's recommended that they be tapered off. i would check with ur dr to see if there is anythin that they can suggest. you might need to increase ur calorie intake for a while. being off the meds could have increased ur metabolism. being on & off meds can have weird effects on the body.

    take care.
