Notes disappeared after enabling iCloud sync

I wanted to receive a note from a friend earlier today but it prompted me to to turn on icloud sync for notes, which I didn't think much of. I've only just now realised that it disabled the setting that stores notes on your phone locally, which got rid of every single password, rant, and list I've made over the past 3 years. Upon turning the setting back on, none of my notes have returned. There was no recently deleted. Any help?
