Just wondering, I slimmed right down while on adderall and hoping to have the same effect on vyvanse.....

It probably isn't "indicated" nor is it something that doctors or even forum members would approve looking forward to, but considering it is predominantly dexedrine and my experience is that dexedrine is better for weight loss (it actually is almost painful to eat on it whereas Adderall sort of ****'s the bed so to speak), it should be expected, I have heard it has more of that as a side effect versus Adderall.

I took Vyvanse yesterday and ate like a horse. I don't do that with Adderall.

People are different

God I hope it can lol..losing weight would help take care of most of my physical problems...I just started yesturday, and today, I have not wanted to eat a bite and it's already 6 @ night....but eventually I will pop something in the nukerwave.

Just wondering...the pharmacist and doctors say eating should not make a difference with towards the meds..but sometimes when I eat something after taking it..the meds dont take long to kick in as it may not when I dont eat....anyone notice this or is it just in my head lol :confused:

I used to take mine in the morning without eating, but I've been eating a nice protein breakfast in the mornings and I don't seem to notice a difference in the amount of timeGod I hope it can lol..losing weight would help take care of most of my physical problems...I just started yesturday, and today, I have not wanted to eat a bite and it's already 6 @ night....but eventually I will pop something in the nukerwave.

As a generalization, it should help for weight loss but given that it's a controlled relase and an added molecule, it's affects may be different than the previous stimulants. Plus it's hard to tell as everyone is different on different medications.

I know for me that adderall killed my appetite - not so on vyvanse thus far.

I think the official stance is that appettite loss is a mild side affect but as you become accustomed to it that will level out.

Dang...I hope I level out soon lol Been taking it for 2 months now...still dont really eat anything, except breakfast when I wake up in time. *shrugs* guess it's just meI think the official stance is that appettite loss is a mild side affect but as you become accustomed to it that will level out.

Yeah - I find that when I follow a schedule for eating small amounts I do much better. Otherwise I would forget. Trouble is with not eating - it lessens the effect. Food helps because then your glucose levels aren't depleted and you are not depending on it for all of your energy. As if that were a problem for most of us to begin with....
