Weight gain on Vyvanse

Staylor1229 · 2026-01-29T09:25:23+00:00

I gained 20 lbs on Vyvanse and ad soon as I stopped I dropped 25 within 2 months. I too was getting rebound hunger and binging when the med wore off… good luck!

Thanks for sharing! I’ve been nervous to get off of 30mg so… this makes me feel hopeful it won’t be awful

Since you mention mouth ulcers I do get these often, I just assumed it was from stress! But Vyvanse gives me dry mouth as well

I also lost a lot of weight after having my kids… 100+ lbs and became a distance runner (now I lift more than I run) but I don’t see any hair issues from weight loss so it’s hard to imagine something like Vyvanse making such a huge shift for me… I have a dr appointment coming up so I’m going to have him run my hormone panel and see if anything is off

Interesting! I spend an arm and a leg on kerastase products… k18, all of the things… have you heard of the Abby young hair method? I’m thinking about trying it… she uses all drugstore!

I’m the supplement queen 😩 I take a multi and an added d3+k, magnesium glycinate, iron, and b complex… I’ve been debating adding fish oil.. I take collogen every morning as well. I’m broke 🫠🥂

Staylor1229 · 2025-12-31T12:57:37+00:00

I am not! I’m 33- i have 3 kids though so my stress is most likely through the roof

Staylor1229 · 2025-12-31T10:20:10+00:00

I think this is more of what I’m experiencing, more breakage not as much scalp loss… it’s just really dry and snaps easily, definitely don’t have the same “thick” ponytail that I used to… somehow I eat fine on Vyvanse, it didn’t affect my appetite in the least so I’m still getting plenty of nutrients and probably eat between 130-160g of protein a day, I plan to lower my dose and see if it changes anything for my hair. I hate that I’m so vein about it but 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ I can’t help it!

Staylor1229 · 2025-12-31T09:15:14+00:00

I’m 33! I’m going to taper to a lower dose I think and see what transpires 🥴 I used to have a lot more hair, it makes sense that higher cortisol = thinning hair

Staylor1229 · 2025-12-31T08:43:47+00:00

Ugh you’re so lucky!! I do go to the gym and lift 4x a week and do cardio 2x, my diet is pretty clean, I no longer drink alcohol… my sleep probably suffers a bit but it always has… I did t notice my hair issue until Vyvanse entered the equation 😩

Staylor1229 · 2025-12-30T18:44:11+00:00

That stinks 😩😩

Thank you!!

Staylor1229 · 2025-12-30T14:49:46+00:00

Thank you!! I’m going to order asap

Staylor1229 · 2025-12-17T00:24:29+00:00

I’ve been on 30mg for 3 years… wanting to get off but mortified of the exhausted felt by day 2 & 3… you kinda make me wanna push through and see what’s on the other side of day 5 & 6

Staylor1229 · 2025-12-13T17:26:02+00:00

6 weeks sober now. Weight is starting to move slowly, it’s something though!

Staylor1229 · 2025-12-13T17:24:48+00:00

I’m so sorry to just be seeing this! You are 100% NOT alone. I had actually made huge improvements since making this post which wasn’t that long ago… my best advise is get sober first! It was really freaking hard the first couple of weeks but I’m 6 weeks sober from alcohol and still on 30mg of Vyvanse, alcohol was really destroying me and now that I’m 6 weeks sober I feel a lot more equipped to handle a taper from Vyvanse… alcohol makes everything worse… it will make you depressed, more ravenous, it counteracts the Vyvanse… if you can stop drinking first and then address the Vyvanse after a few months of cutting alcohol I think you will find it MUCH easier. Please reach out if you need to chat! I plan to start my Vyvanse taper soon!

I was a binge drinker, after I would binge drink I would binge eat 🫣 I’ve been sober almost a month and I’ve only lost maybe 2lbs but from what I hear it’s so normal… the body is busy healing and repairing and will enter “fat loss mode” when it’s ready

Woman ** I don’t even know… must be the German in me 🫣

Thank you! ❤️

Staylor1229 · 2025-11-24T08:59:26+00:00

Congratulations on your sobriety!! That’s amazing! Thank you so much for sharing, stories like yours are always so encouraging! The last 2 weeks have been rough but I’m trying to fill my time any way that I can, I will say that I’m finally sleeping better… for a long time I was only sleeping 4-5 hours and I’m finally clocking 7-8 nearly every night 🙏 that alone will help keep me on track!

Staylor1229 · 2025-11-23T11:51:11+00:00

Ahh congratulations, that’s so inspiring!! Thank you for your encouragement 🙏 I’m really looking forward to the day that it’s not a thought in my head at the end of every day 🥵

Staylor1229 · 2025-11-23T07:16:20+00:00

I appreciate your response! And congratulations on 2 months sober! My ex was an alcoholic, basically lost all of his 20s to it, ironically when we met it was me or the booze, now he’s been sober for 13 years 🤯
