using vyvanse for weight loss

I am guessing that you see two different doctors. One for weight loss and one for your ADHD/anxiety. I say this because Basically phentermine is a stimulant (works like adderall), but works differently then adderall. I am not sure you should be taking it with adderall. "Phentermine use is containdicated in those who are: Taking amphetamine (i.e. Adderall, Dexedrine, Vyvanse), in the last 14 days" This quote is from - http://en.wikipedia.

Vyvanse is not a good medicine for people with high blood pressure and you might talk with your doctor and see if there are alternatives. Beta blockers do antagonize the effects of vyvanse. Maybe a calcium channel blocker or an ACE inhibitor would be better--but first check and see if Vyvanse is a must for you.

this is a link about appetite and weight loss for parents for their kids. the ideas are good and you might find some of them helpful. http://www.additudemag.com/adhd/article/10240.html?utm_source=eletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=March By the way, the duration of V is 10 hours. If it is lasting much longer then that, its a pretty good sign that your dose is too high. I would certainly talk to your doc about cutting down the dose or switching to a Concerta type med.

My son has a px for 40mg Vyvanse in the am, with a 10mg Adderall boost for afternoon/evening work as needed. This morning, before I found an answer to whether or not it is safe, he took the two pills simultaneously - he has 2 final exams today and thought this would help. I'm quite worried - he left the house 35 minutes ago and I haven't found an answer yet. He has tolerated both medicines well, and at one time had a px has high as 70mg for Vyvanse.

My doctor also prescribed Phenteramine 37.5 mg for weight loss. I take both together in the morning. I do go to him every month and have a check up so he can check my blood pressure...it is always low anyways. But he does keep a close eye on me. Also, if I have something stressfull happen in my life, I drop the phenterimine for a couple of days to prevent an anxidy attack. Phenteramine does make you anxious,,, more so than the adderall or Concerta.

s Thyroiditis, which is an autoimmune disease that attacks the thyroid. If you have symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as weight loss, rapid heart rate, palpitations, etc you should also get Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulins (TSI) to confirm/rule out Graves Disease, which is another autoimmune disease that attacks the thyroid. You should also get vitamin B12 tested, as B12 deficiency can cause horrendous fatigue, as well as tingling/numbness in the hands/feet, easy bruising, etc.

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.

Has anyone tried the drug vyvance for CFS...it is typically used for ADD. My lyme disease doctor suggested it and says those with lyme disease who suffer with fatigue has benefitted from it. Just wondering if anyone has ever tried it.

All stim meds have a appetite suppressant quality. You should like Vyvanse. It lasts much longer and is a smoother medication. You shouldn't notice the ups and downs as much. Problem with all stim meds is that when you come off them at night you can be very hungry. 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.

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.

Would switching from Adderal 30 mg to Vyvanse 20 mg cause me to gain weight? (or any other negative side effect?

You should be aware if anyone is using your medicine improperly or without a prescription. Using this medication improperly can cause death or serious side effects on the heart. Vyvanse should be taken in the morning with or without food. Do not take this medicine in the evening because it may cause sleep problems (insomnia). Do not crush, chew, break, or divide a capsule. Swallow the capsule whole.

None of the common adhd stimulant meds will cause weight gain and in fact might cause weight loss. All of these stimulant meds - when the correct dose is achieved - will limit impulsivity at school and at home. And, of course, if she starts doing better at school....her mood at home will also change. So do get back to me. I am really curious if she has actually tried any of the meds normally used to treat adhd. Best wishes.

vyvanse my children don't really want to eat and when it wears off they act like do get any food why?

I have been using for the last 15 years of my life, and when i say using, that includes every drug possible. When I quit on February 20th, i started losing weight rapidly! I went from a size 11 jeans down to a 0! is that normal?

t have insurance. I took 60 mg of Vyvanse for three to four months, back in mid-2009; it was absolutely amazing. It was very smooth, it lasted around the 12-14 hours my Psychiatrist said it would, and I did not give me any side effects. I would highly recommend Vyvanse to anyone who needs a ADHD/ADD medication. I can only wish you the best experience with this medication once it is available by you.

My son has been takiing this med Vyvanse for adhd, so I decided to take it to see if it would help me with my depression and anxiety, and it worked great, I didn't have any side effect to it. This is why I ask if its okay to take Vyvanse for my anxiety, right now I'm taking celexa but its not doing nothing for me anymore. I've been taking Celexa for the past 3 yrs and I think its time for me to change my meds.

He was put on to concerta with many side effects.no appetite weight loss and extreme rebound effect at night which was unbearable. During that time I discovered neurotherapy and he started sessions 3 times a week. He improved markedly in his, concentration and focus in class and behaviour and meds were stopped. Since then his hyperactivity anger tantrums and impulsiveness has returned after 4 months but his schoolwork seems the same and is doing well at school, he is now 7yrs old.

gave me Wellbutrin and it produced none of the side effects you mention except decreased cravings for caffeine and sweets. Our pharmacist said vyvanse is a lot like adderall; he said everyone seems to be using it who would have previously been on adderall. It is very trendy right now. But I do not think it would help with anxiety at all, and I would guess anxiety might be causing your heart rate to be rapid. The Wellbutrin is a stimulating anti-depressant.

She called the DEA and then called the weight loss doctor. The weight loss doc is the one that called me. Told me what the pharmacist said. I am fine with quitting the subox, i might need one more month to do it. And I'm fine with quitting the other. But...could i be in trouble with the DEA? I know i can't go back to the weight loss clinic. But I'm supposed to see the subox doc tomorrow. Should i call the DEA myself,explain? I didn't realize it was a problem....
