I’ve taken adhd medication before (vyvanse) which did not work at all. Now I’m taking methylphenidate at 35 mg (started it yesterday) and I thought my biggest side effect was dry mouth (mostly was only a problem yesterday), until I realized both today and yesterday, I have barely been eating. It’s not that I don’t feel hungry, I can tell I am but mentally there’s no want for food at all. I’m really not used to this especially considering usually I have a big appetite and eat a ton the second I get even a little hungry (which honestly feels like another adhd thing). So yeah, it’s just a huge annoyance since the discomfort makes me a bit irritable, I’m sure it’ll get better after a while of taking the meds but even so I think it’d be good to get any tips from anyone whose gone through this (like how to get yourself to eat or feel more of a want to eat or even just personal stories without much real advice). Thanks for reading this giant blob of text and thanks even more to anyone who comments💕
