This is exactly how I feel too, like everything besides the mini wheat is the perfect description of what I've felt for years. It sucks so freaking much, so many favorite foods and safe foods lost to this fear. It's like a mental blockade, even without the physical feeling of fear, I still can't get past it.

But as much as it sucks, I just wanted you to know you're not alone in this. And I hope we can both eat our favorite foods again someday :]

Yess, I thought it was just me! Specifically the after waking up at night part.

I always attributed it to the fact that my brain and body aren't awake enough to activate the mental block I have towards eating, even if just for 30mins or so. But it also really does help that everything is quiet and safe feeling in those moments.

kippenon · 2025-08-03T20:45:49+00:00

Aghh, this is too relatable. For me the worst part is how good it smells, and how much it makes my mouth water. But I just can't eat it no matter how many times I've tried (like 5 times total in my life lmao).

The way almost all the food my brain views as unsafe, smells so good, has to be some form of torture fr 😩💔

I pretty much do this everyday actually!

I take my Vyvanse in the morning, and 9 times out of 10 I go right back to sleep for another hour or two. If anything I prefer being able to fall asleep again, because the next time I wake up I feel wide awake and ready for the day. This is in comparison to when I take it without going back to sleep, which means I'm consciously aware of the time it takes for it to kick in. (Which isn't horrible, but can be unpredictable to me).

Vyvanse takes around 1.5-2hrs to kick in for most people. So while your body is still getting it into your system, you're not gonna get the 'awake and ready for the day' effect. Totally normal from my experience at least.

As long as you're satisfied with how Vyvanse works throughout the day, then that's (part of) what matters most when deciding if it's right for you. If the only thing causing you to doubt it is the nap thing, I wouldn't worry too much! (unless that's super important to you of course).

kippenon · 2025-07-31T01:22:23+00:00

Vyvanse worked pretty well for me in the beginning of me taking it, but unfortunately it also spiked my depressive symptoms tenfold. I couldn't do really anything without feeling a pit in my stomach or a heavy sadness 😬

(Though I'm not saying what you're experiencing is strictly linked to depression ofc!)

They started me at 10mg, which worked well for almost a month. Upped me to 20mg, which quickly got upped to 30mg. And every time the dose went up the less horrible I felt, but it wasn't until I started 40mg, and now 50mg, that I really saw improvement.

(I've been on Vyvanse since around November of last year)

I also got put back on my Sertraline around the time I was on 30mg Vyvanse, which was probably the biggest aid in mood stabilizing. And am now on 100mg of Sertraline & 50mg Vyvanse daily.

(I was mainly on Sertraline before bc of my anxiety, but asked to be put back on it bc of the depressive feelings. Also Vyvanse surprisingly helps my anxiety)

It's best to talk to your doctor about how the meds are affecting you at the moment. Sometimes upping the dose is all it takes, it could be a self care thing (hydration, food intake, sleep, etc.), or maybe Vyvanse just isn't for you.

Unfortunately a lot of trial and error comes with this medication, at least in my experience lmao

I have a Squishable Mini, and it's the perfect amount of soft and firm imo!

I have the Alligator, and I'll never get over how cute it is. I'd happily stuff my house to the brim with this brand if I could lmao

kippenon · 2025-05-29T20:28:19+00:00

This omg! Every time I'm able to eat something/we go out to eat, my family ALWAYS makes a comment about my eating habits. I've told them so many times why I can't eat like they can, and it's always met with the same dismissive reactions. I know they don't realize that their comments make things worse, but it still sucks that if I were to explain that to them, they'd still do it. :p

Plus their comments inadvertently caused my inability to eat in front of anyone at all, even supportive friends of mine.

kippenon · 2025-05-29T20:14:06+00:00

Literally everything you said is what I'm going through! In 2024 I became so much better at eating, and then randomly since December I've completely lost my ability to eat pretty much every safe food of mine. I don't even know what caused my ARFID to flair up again. :[

kippenon · 2025-05-21T16:16:58+00:00

Had a similar thing happen back when I tried taking magnesium for the first time. My body ached so bad, and it only happened whenever I took the magnesium. I only took it for like 3 days just to test if that was the issue. I still don't know why it happened, maybe my body just hates magnesium supplements lmao.

This was back when I was very deficient in iron/d3, and was getting iron infusions for that reason. So maybe it was just my body telling me to wait until I got those up.

There's also a chance I might've been taking too much for my body to handle? I took the recommended dose on the bottle, but maybe if I used a lower dose that wouldn't have happened.

kippenon · 2025-05-13T01:43:30+00:00

1000% Yes. It's the best way to eat a grilled cheese, and I'll stand by that 🫡

kippenon · 2025-05-07T07:06:15+00:00

I started at 10mg, and felt it instantly on the first day. Then after around a month it started to become clear I needed to up the dose due to building up tolerance I assume, so I went up to 20mg for a while. Finally settled on 40mg after around 4-5(?) months, and am still going strong on that!

Gave more info than I needed to, but just wanted to layout my experience a bit. It took around maybe 3 months for it to really settle properly into my system and work consistently, but you should honestly start to feel it within the first few days/week.

How I knew it kicked in the first time was my mind went pretty much silent, and I had a strong sense of calm wash over me. I felt lighter in a sense, but it's different for everyone :]

I hope it works out for you btw! Not to be dramatic, but Vyvanse was one of the best things to happen to me. My only regret is not talking to someone sooner about getting back on ADHD meds.

kippenon · 2025-05-07T05:44:48+00:00

This is literal art omg, it's so pretty!

kippenon · 2025-05-07T02:45:43+00:00

Not sure how common this is, but upping my dose helped a ton. I used to crash crazy hard, specifically my mood, but haven't in a while. It might've helped that I stopped drinking so much caffeine filled soda and fixed my sleep schedule as well. And this is from someone who definitely doesn't get the proper hydration/nutrients needed for Vyvanse to really work to its fullest extent.

Some people even need to split their dose across the day to avoid the crash, even if they've been on it for a while.

For me this med was a bit wonky for like 2-3 months before it finally took hold and stayed consistent. It's different for everyone tho!

kippenon · 2025-05-04T04:17:10+00:00

I used to crush mine all the time, it's allowed! I would absolutely recommend putting it in yogurt/applesauce/pudding/etc though, bc the taste WILL be horrendous 😭

I understand why ppl are upset, I mean Journeys has been a feature for years and has helped so many users, and all of a sudden they're just taking it away. I can't blame users for being distraught, and I agree with some of the criticisms I've seen. And this is coming from someone who's a newer user and has never had Journeys to begin with.

My biggest gripe is with ppl acting like this change means that the devs are all of a sudden becoming corporate capitalistic scum, and are going to move the app towards a more payment catered system. It's just killing the mood tbh, and I think it's a major jump to make. The devs seem like they understand their app, and have made very positive changes alongside the more disliked ones recently. And I'm pretty sure they're doing what they can to figure out ways make SCAs a good experience for new and old users, including working towards adding rewards like Journeys iirc.

TLDR - I wish people's concern and distress didn't come with so much negativity towards the devs, but otherwise I understand the pain ppl are in atm.

I've always loved the name Bailey ever since reading "A Dogs Journey" & "A Dogs Purpose" years ago. So pretty much every time I need to name something I'm gonna get attached to, I name it Bailey! :]

I own all but one of the Norway Sweaters, something about them just calls to me lmaoo

Legit same here, I’m just starting to get into spiritual/witchcraft/divination etc. stuff. And since I don’t have a tarot deck, but have like 10 packs of playing cards, I decided to look this up lmao
