Weaning from THC. Should I push through symptoms?

F34 125lbs
I have hEDS, MCAS, POTS, AuDHD and take Effexor 37.5 mg, Zyrtec, Pepcid, and vitamin D all SID and Vyvanse 10 mg PRN (3-4 days a week)

I’ve been weaning slowly for a couple of months after being a daily user for about four years (of various habits ranging from smoking multiple times a day to most recently a nightly smoker). I’ve weaned by going down to EOD for a couple weeks, every couple days for a couple weeks, now down to going as long as I can before symptoms become intolerable. I’m on the second week of the latest protocol. My goal is sobriety. I am currently on my longest stretch of no thc intake for five days with the previous stretch lasting for 4 days, and the physical symptoms are appearing today. I’m quite dizzy, nauseated, exhausted, and emotional. I’m not craving being high as I’m in a stressful life situation and the anxiety will only be worse if I get high. I’d like to not if I can manage, but I’m worried about being able to work on Monday. I’ve weaned off SSRI and SNRIs before (not saying they’re comparable) and had to be very slow with it to avoid getting sick. I’m wondering if I should treat this similarly or if I should power through the symptoms and just keep going?
