vyvanse

Avatar f tn No dose seemed to fit for me. But, I lost the weight I was needing to lose (20 lbs) and if I go off Vyvanse, will it come back on with a vengance? I have heard hunger just is out of control when stopping this drug. So I am afraid to stay on it and I am afraid to go off it.
Avatar n tn there are quite a few different medications that can make it difficult to lose weight. Some are notorious for causing weight gain, as well.
Avatar f tn Switching to something like Vyvanse which lasts a lot longer might be a more effective (and safer way) to lose weight. Check this link to see if your ADHD medication is actually working for you the way it should be. http://www.additudemag.com/slideshow/212/slide-1.html?utm_source=eletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=march Essentially, I don't think that you can take both together. But, I am not a doctor.

Avatar n tn As someone who has struggled with food addiction and weight my entire life it was an unexpected miracle that Vyvanse COMPLETELY rid me of my food compulsion...I have to remind myself to eat? Can anyone calm me down? Confirm my fears? suggest something else?
1165577 tn?1263001618 Would switching from Adderal 30 mg to Vyvanse 20 mg cause me to gain weight? (or any other negative side effect?
Avatar m tn During the next week, I started exhibiting the behaviors that I associate with my depressive symptoms. However, since the Vyvanse makes me lose touch with reality, to some extent, and slows my thoughts significantly, I wasn't really aware of it. My doctor told me I could play around with the doses and see what works for me, since he would be seeing me in two weeks.
Avatar f tn vyvanse my children don't really want to eat and when it wears off they act like do get any food why?
Avatar f tn So I went and visited a general practitioner that specializes in weight loss. He prescribed Vyvanse to take in the morning then before bed I am supposed to take Topamax (migraine medicine) and Trintellix (an antidepressant) as well as a diet. I started on the Vyvanse mostly b/c I also suffer from ADHD and it is really great so far for my attention at work.
Avatar n tn this makes me worry a little bit but not much since i wanted to lose weight anyway. another side effect that i have noticed though is that i forget things. i forget words, names, where i put stuff and so on. i thought this medicine was supposed to make stuff like that better? also since i have started taking it my muscles (especially in my back) have started getting sorer and sorer. today my back is extremely sore as are my legs, and my feet and hands are cold, almost even numb.

Avatar m tn I am taking Vyvanse and Prozac, and I'm having trouble getting myself to eat. I am still in a healthy weight range, so I'm not worried about that. But I've been weak, fatigued, and dizzy at times because I'm not eating enough. Are there any protein shakes I should try, or something like that, so I can be getting the nutrients I need? I hate most protein shakes because I can't stand the texture, and they're usually gross. But I have to do something.
Avatar m tn t had the best appetite for years since i was small even while pregnant with my first. I lose weight faster than i gain and i try to eat and gain but nothing works because i never have the appetite i need to eat food. I will only eat things i like such as lasagna and burgers and hot dogs and pizza and things like that. then i bought a protein shake called serious mass to gain weight and i'm hoping that works even though i was told i have to eat 3 meals a day and drink the shake in between.
Avatar m tn Just a couple of months ago I was diagnosed ADHD, and Vyvanse was prescribed, along with clonidin. I have to really watch my blood pressure now, because if I miss taking the atenenol, my blood pressure will shoot up over 160 really quick. Is there any solution for people with 2 conditions like this where the medication for one condition diametrically opposes the medication for the second condition ? Would some other blood pressure medication work better than a beta blocker ?

1575110 tn?1334664635 With nothing to lose, I said yes. I do like Vyvanse. It works for me, I am happy, motivated, and just feel more like me. I don't have any side effects from it either. I've not heard of Daytrana before. So that must be a new one as well? Also I used to take Adderall XR and that is a great medicine as well. I just took it for so long that it started to not work and help me the same way anymore.
Avatar f tn There is no need for him to cease using the prescribed vyvanse but do take care of the other addictions. Vyvanse wont be prompting the use of them, but if not taken care of he will prompt the use of them.
Avatar m tn I started Vyvanse back in August 2010, and it was the miracle that I've been searching for. Over a span of 4 years, I've taken stimulants including: Concerta, 30mg Adderall IR, and 30mg Adderall XR. Concerta gave me migraines. Adderall XR completely sucked. Adderall IR was the best medication that I found until Vyvanse. Now I think Adderall is horrible in comparison. I've been taking 30mg of Vyvanse for a few months now.
Avatar f tn I posted back in Sept about having insanely irregular periods and the pill after several months was not able to regulate it. Even though my ultrasound came back showing only one cyst, my doctor swore that I still had PCOS. Since then he ended up putting me on Doxycyline to see if it would help my acne while as well as ordered blood test to check for signs of PCOS.
965119 tn?1247416571 That is the time you have to be very careful if you want to lose weight. It is not a magic pill. It still is calories in and calories out. Because you should be less hungry during the day, it should be easier to cut down on snacking. Get a good healthy high protein breakfast in the morning. Oh, exercise will help both your adhd and diet! Well, so would a program like weight watchers. The main thing is don't expect overnight miracles! That is not healthy. Slow and steady.
Avatar f tn I also share that I take Vyvanse prescribed by my family dr. Well, the cardiologist actually exhibited anger towards me. My pb spikes in a doctor's office. He angrily snapped at me and said will check with my family dr about the Vyvanse - insinuating it was prescribed maybe? He had known all along and in my chart that I take Vyvanse. I just feel like this doctor was mad at me and angry - instead of helping me.
Avatar f tn Adderall 10 mg = Vyvanse 30 mg, Adderall 20 mg = Vyvanse 50 mg, Adderall 30 mg = Vyvanse 70 mg. I always start lower than expected with a change to Vyvanse, as for about 10-15% that anticipated dose of Vyvanse proves too much. I don’t want folks on my watch to experience 10% problems." I would also check the comments in the above link and some of them might apply to you. the link is - http://www.corepsych.
Avatar f tn Goodluck on your weight gain journey, it is definitely difficult, especially when everyone around you is telling you that they wished they could lose weight easily as Im desperatly trying to gain a pound. It wont happen over night, but keep showing up for yourself and trying again and again. I believe in you! Some foods that help me eat/gain weight: -Smoothies (theres so many different recipes) - 10% whole fat yogurt helps! And its healthy -Nuts -Ensure drinks (these things are the besttttt!
Avatar f tn I recently started taking Vyvanse, which durasticaly improved my grades, but has left me with some side effects that I don't know how to deal with. But, I don't want to have to stop taking Vyvanse. Ever sense I started taking Vyvanse I have been acting a little OCD, having minor headaches, having major mood swings, a decrease of weight and appetite, and several other side effects. Ond of those is that I cant sleep.
Avatar n tn I hope not because today was my first day and I was actually awake and not groggy.And will I be able to lose weight?
Avatar f tn I've posted a couple things about this, and if you want to read a more detailed history, its in my posts in my profile.
Avatar f tn Hi all, today I obtained a new script for 20mg of Vyvanse (a switch from Adderall XR). I got it filled at CVS, and having read accounts of tampering, I checked out the capsules and noticed their contents are low, and significantly varied. Most of the capsules are only HALF full, and none of them are entirely full. I'll also note that I picked the script up myself, and kept them in a secure place until I opened them.
Avatar m tn Sorry to hear this is happening. You sound alot like my son's best friend when he was growing up, he was a larger child, had problems with his weight, but was the most loveable kid there was; he had so many friends and had a sense of humor that was contagious. If he were still here, I would ask WHY are doing this to yourself, you're such a great guy and one day someone will see the value in that and love you for who you are.
