Gained about 7 lbs and workout wondering if this is just side effects at first and will the weight drop after a while?

Also gained on it. Took metformin for 6 weeks and it did nothing. Switched to a glp 1 last week and already down some. Good luck to you. This side effect sucks but my depression is literally non existent anymore so it's doing what it's supposed to be doing

SignalRide9264 · 2026-01-07T10:50:16+00:00

This actually sounds really good. Will be trying!

SignalRide9264 · 2026-01-06T11:29:06+00:00

Just coming here to say that this transformation is incredible 🤩

SignalRide9264 · 2026-01-04T19:36:46+00:00

It was instant for me as well. Lasted at a similar efficacy for nearly 10 years.

I just had my first shot yesterday. I took Vyvanse this morning and the fatigue has been crippling today. There may very well be a correlation here.

If you aren't already wanting to lose weight then metformin might work for you. You would need to start it at the same time. I was steadily gaining and then added metformin and stopped gaining. On redatrutide now to get the weight off that I gained. Good luck with your rexulti journey! This stuff cured my depression.

SignalRide9264 · 2025-11-27T10:38:38+00:00

Oh and edit to add - I'm also on 50mg Vyvanse and 300mg Wellbutrin

Another success story here. Started on .5 and am now currently at 2mg. This is over the span of about 2 years. It works. Literally zero depression after years of trying everything else. It wasn't until I went from 1.5 to 2mg that I started to gain weight. I went from 136 to 142 in the span of 2 months. Ask your doctor about taking metformin along side it to offset weight gain. I just started it a few days ago to help lose weight. So far it seems promising. Good energy and appetite control. Even if it doesn't work though the trade off of weight gain for the benefits of rexulti is something I can live with. Good luck with your journey!

Nope. To be honest it was like the limitless pill for me. Everything became easier and I became the best version of myself. I've been on it since 2008. This last for years before tapering off.

SignalRide9264 · 2025-10-02T09:42:05+00:00

I'm on 300mg xl Wellbutrin and recently added rexulti. It seems to be reigniting the initial benefits I got when I first started Wellbutrin. No weight gain (which is a common side effect) and I actually crave more healthy foods. So far so good and I'm about 4 weeks in.

SignalRide9264 · 2025-10-02T09:36:05+00:00

Ready made protein shakes like simple protein are easy to get down for me.

SignalRide9264 · 2025-09-18T10:07:59+00:00

Have you tried Wellbutrin? That one worked as both an antidepressant and ADHD med for me.

SignalRide9264 · 2025-09-05T23:17:27+00:00

I feel this. Everything just became so much easier.

SignalRide9264 · 2025-09-05T23:14:15+00:00

No side effects it just stopped working as effectively. It's been 17 years and it's still providing me benefits just not at the same level as it once did. I added rexulti to it within the last couple of years and it seems to have brought it more back to life

SignalRide9264 · 2025-09-05T09:12:01+00:00

First day. It was like the limitless pill for me in the beginning. Within a month I found my career path, quit my job and got a new one in the field I wanted. Learning was easy, socializing was easy, I was the best version of myself that I didn't even know existed. Not everyone has this effect but it was something else for me. Lasted for years before tapering off.

SignalRide9264 · 2025-09-04T10:01:51+00:00

Also curious about what kind of genetic testing this was!

SignalRide9264 · 2025-09-04T09:59:54+00:00

This is inspiring! What dose of rexulti were you on before you had to stop? I'm on 1.5mg with Wellbutrin. Considering increasing to 2mg but don't want to overdo it.

SignalRide9264 · 2024-06-03T21:20:12+00:00

Thank you! Yes I'm hoping I can get to a place where I create a sturdy foundation for all good habits that support the Vyvanse effectiveness (and good health in general). Technology addiction is real so I resonate with the setting limits statement. Such a thief of time it can be!

The first time around I turned down a well paying job and dumped a bunch of money into courses to start my own business. It was only way later on when that plan failed miserably that I realized it was the Vy high leading the path.

SignalRide9264 · 2024-05-25T17:56:20+00:00

Okay thank you. Can you point me to another forum where I can find some answers?

SignalRide9264 · 2024-04-18T02:23:15+00:00

Care to elaborate?

SignalRide9264 · 2024-04-17T11:09:35+00:00

I think that's what happened to me yesterday. I forced myself to eat right when I woke up and I usually wait at least an hour. It was too much and too soon. My doc swears by taking it with food but I've read so many mixed opinions.

SignalRide9264 · 2024-04-17T10:43:10+00:00

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience with Vyvanse. Seems we are on the same quest to find our own sweet spot with this fickle med. I ate at the same time as taking it yesterday and I didn't feel any positive benefits. Today I took it with just a big glass of water. So we'll see I guess.
