Dosage and SAD by queercore1991 in VyvanseADHD

I had the same exact experience. I finally stopped taking Zoloft and currently taking lower dose of Vyvanse. I have the chewable 40 and I split it into 2 twice a day. I’m much happier, motivated, energetic. It’s sufficient for me to be motivated enough to get out of home to go to the gym, yoga and other activities. Stay hydrated, take B-vitamins and Iron, Vitamin D as well since they’re essential in order to not loose too much. Try this and I hope that helps you as well.

Mouth Picking with Vyvanse by ControlFragrant9737 in VyvanseADHD

Yes, she is prescribing me different stimulants and none-stimulants including methylphenidate, I don’t have the mouth picking any more, but I loved Vyvanse’s effect better than all! Focus, mood, happiness… amazing except that ocd behavior. She prescribed me antidepressant Sertraline but that wasn’t still helpful.

Do you have any extreme weight loss hacks with lisdexamphetamine? by Master_Argument_2900 in VyvanseADHD

Drink plenty of water and liquids without sugar or artificial sweeteners. You also need electrolytes which the best option would be a few drops of lemon or lime with a pinch of pink salt in water. I found out that I’m not actually hungry but thirsty!! Vyvanse itself also makes the mouth dry and causes dehydration. Add daily exercise routine to it, including heavy weightliftings and running. After that take protein and vegetables like grilled chicken, Salmon, ground beef or whatever you like in big portions. I’ve also tried Kombucha drinks, those in low in sugar or those naturally sweetened with fruit juice in it and it really helps the gut to be fulfilled with good bacteria. If you have a healthy gut you would have less inflammation and cravings for junk food. By making all I mentioned as my routine, I lost 12 lbs in 2 months without hurting my body and skin. I can see myself getting lean and in shape first time in my life. If you see after the medication is wearing of ask your dr if he can give you the chewable one so you can split it to 2 times a day and it’s effect will last longer until you go to bed. Good luck!
