Vyvanse not having an effect on hunger
this might be a very redundant/repetitive question but it's one that's been confusing me for a very long time,i got properly diagnosed with adhd about 6 ish months ago,and after my diagnosis i immediately got prescribed ritalin (methylphenidate),then after working my way up to two 10mg pills (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) the only improvement it had was just improving my alertness and reducing my afternoon slump/tiredness,but zero effect on my focus and or everything else i hoped for.
So after about 3 months of ritalin i talked to my doctor and got prescribed vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) instead, and i was told by her that vyvanse would have an extremely strong effect on appetite which i was glad about cuz I've always struggled with binging/overeating.
then after working my way up to 30mg vyvanse,i could absolutely feel the effects on my focus and alertness and productivity and just how much better i felt overall,but in the whole 2 months that I've been taking it i haven't felt a single change to my appetite AT ALL.
So after feeling frustrated at my non results,i did some research on the internet and on social media to see others' experiences with it,and i was absolutely shocked to see that people have to literally force themselves to eat throughout the day on vyvanse and how everyone describes vyvanse making eating seem like the last thing they'd ever wanna do, and even people without adhd taking it just for weightloss.
I know there's probably other factors that could be involved but it's just shocking to me that everyone seems to be absolutely repulsed by food and eating with vyvanse while i am still binging like my life depends on it
