reminds me of my test runs with elvanse (no idea how exactly that is related to vyvanse, other than the name and symptom similarity).
it was suggested that I might have more success with it than with ritalin. so far I’ve taken 3 of these pills. one day on the first, two days on my second attempt.
on both attempts, I’ve lost my appetite completely. not only that, I’ve noticed a mild disgust against anything edible. I’m already an incredible picky eater per default, my reaction against food that doesn’t taste good is already really strong, which basically leaves me with only a handfull of meals I can eat without strong discomfort. but on that medication, I just could not get myself (nor felt any need) to eat anything. it was actually rather scary.
Same! I’m on Elvanse for about half a year now and the first week was insane, I had to force myself to eat, which never happened to me before. I also lost a bit of weight in the first 2 months (which is not a good thing for me), but I got used to it. Now I eat a huge breakfast, before it kicks in and then just eat small amounts over the whole day and have a bigger meal once it wears off. But I definitely had to change my routine a bit. I miss enjoying a lunch break. :D
