I have managed to build muscle, bringing me to a net loss of 15 pounds in 2 weeks. I need the Vyvanse though, to help me pay attention in school. First, feel free to reach out to me via social media. My IG: Kh1k. I recommend a fat loss product to some of my clients who want to get lean. I can attest to all of the claims in this article.
However, you want to lose fat, not weight. With a healthy diet high in protein as well as a weight resistance training program, one who takes vyvanse can really achieve an impressive physique. Prior to taking vyvanse, I had to do 30 mins of cardio post weight lifting to rev up my metabolism enough to lose a little bit of body fat daily. My doctor has suggested that I try Vyvanse 20mg due to my binge eating since I started peri menopause. It also can become very addictive, not sure what I should about starting this pill.
As an aspiring Doctor, saying you have to be on a drug in order to have a good body is completely disturbing. Are you serious? Vyvanse has been cleared for use in treatment of binge eating. Developing binge eating disorder as part of perimenopausal symptoms is a perfectly valid reason to seek treatment.
I took vyvanse from 3rd grade until 8th grade and I was very skinny, barely over lbs in 8th grade. Then I stopped taking it because it gave me very bad mood swings.
I am now starting it again along with my current medication, Wellbutrin, and on the first day of taking the medication I lost 3 pounds. I had an abundance of energy and zero hunger. I got on sertraline brand name version is zoloft which made me gain a lot of weight while doing nothing to reduce my anxiety attacks and suicidal thoughts. I was on that for about six months and then they added wellbutrin and then like two months later we switched to wellbutrin and cymbalta. I was then prescribed vyvanse off-label by my doctor to help me restore my energy and was gradually put on the highest dosage.
My old therapist also retired at this point so I started with a new one who is a cognitive behavioral therapist instead of a family psychologist. Personally, I think it really really helped. Being able to get out of bed and have the attention span to read made a big difference.
I think mild binge eating was also a problem for me, as a result of being depressed, so it has been effective in that area. I also was taking Lamictal which is a mood stabilizer at that time. I had no idea that the drug would allow me to lose weight. I lost 50 pounds while on the medicine. Then, in , my Psychiatrist left his practice and sent me to another Psychiatrist who refused to prescribe me Vyvanse. While off the Vyvanse, I gained the 50 lbs back plus more. A couple of years later, he changed my antidepressant medication to Wellbutrin mg which I am currently taking.
My Psychiatrist office billed the insurance with the wrong code so they wanted me to pay for what the insurance was supposed to pay and I refused. They said I was not liable to pay it. As a result, I was banned from returning to the Psychiatrist until I payed up. So, I had my Primary doctor to continue my Wellbutrin scripts. In the next year, my job performance decreased. I was getting low evaluations and I knew it was because of my inability to concentrate.
He started me out on 20 mg for ten days then 30 mg for then days then I will be taking 70 mg. I lost 8 pounds in five days on just 20 mg.
Vyvanse also clears up my acne and makes my nails grow. I believe that because I am taking Wellbutrin with the Vyvanse now, it is triggering even more weight loss. I must warn people not to self medicate.
DO NOT up the dosage on your own. I did that when I was on it years back and it almost caused sudden death because my heart was rapidly beating out of control. Please take the medicine as prescribed and you will be fine.
Vyvanse is a good drug for what it is prescribed for. I was prescribed Vyvanse at lbs and within 3 months my weight dropped as low as lbs, which is extremely low for my body type on top of having major constipation- not desired at ALL. This helped over all with the unwanted side effects.
I gained a little weight and plateaued at lbs, which I am happy with. The point is, you have to find a system that works for you because even though losing weight is nice, essentially you are relying on the med to give you energy instead of the energy we get from food.
Not good. I am by no means a professional, but there are options to help you find the right system AND curb some of the negative side effects. I started taking it 4 months ago started at about It seems to suppress my hunger also. How did you lose the weight? My HR of course was always high, blood pressure was fine, but the HR side effects and sweating etc turned me into a total hypochondriac.
Moreso because amphetamines speed up your metabolism. I lowered from 90 to 70 and stopped working out entirely and gained around 8 pounds. Should I reduce slowly and monitor my weight? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! I have taken ADD meds for as long as I remember. I started about 7 or 8 and took them everyday till I graduated high school at The main 2 meds being strattera and vyvanse.
I am currently on vyvanse and took it 4 or 5 years maybe a little longer. I have always been under weight because of how long I have been on vyvanse.
I stopped taking it for almost 4 years and gained over 50 lbs in the 4 years that I was off it. Needless to say vyvanse or almost every ADD script will suppress appetite that I have experienced.
I strongly advise against taking it for that purpose like the blogger said. Taking it can make you dependent on the drug and there are also negative side effects. People get moody or even somewhat emotionless. I could never enjoy food because I couldnt eat enough without my body not wanting the food. I also knew someone that had suicidal thoughts. Positive of taking vyvanse is that it lasts longer than others.
Expect it to be in effect for 10 to 12 hours. If you take it too late you will be restless and wont feel like you slept at all. Hey I had taken vyvanse for a while until at the end of middle school. As soon as I stopped taking it I gained soooo much weight.
I was like pounds at the end of 7th and then at the beginning of 8th after I stopped taking it. I had gained probably 20 or 30 pounds. The only explanation I can think of is that it damaged my metabolism by jacking it sky high from not having much of a appetite.
And after I stopped taking it, my body went into a low metabolism state. I have lost 8 lbs and was up to Now I am lbs. I also walk every where and do feel the need to exercise, and I have the energy for it. I initially was on Focalin but it made me angry, short, and irritable. We will see! I have taken stimulants since the second grade, and have been on vyvanse for the past 5 years oral.
I was always very athletic and muscular, and participated in multiple sports. After stopping for a year I gained a significant amount of weight maxing at I have just recently started taking vyvanse and currently have lost 20 pounds but I tend to be irregular with taking it.

Vyvanse and Weight Loss An effect that many people notice from Vyvanse is that after using the drug consistently, they start to lose weight. Appetite suppression : Most people that have taken Vyvanse are aware of the fact that it can eliminate your appetite.
This is a common problem, especially among individuals taking high doses. Cognitive improvement : It is proven that people get a cognitive boost from taking this drug. It improves clarity of thinking, memory functions, and in some circles is considered a nootropic. This leads some people to make healthier food choices and eat healthier diets. Dopamine boost : When dopamine levels increase, you become more motivated, more self-aware, and feel satisfied without having eaten. Those with low levels of dopamine tend to be more susceptible to obesity than those with higher levels.
This is because when levels remain low, you feel less satisfied and have more urge to seek out food. Activation of the sympathetic nervous system causes the body to burn excess energy stores e. Your sympathetic nervous system plays a pivotal role in metabolic regulation, which may also help you lose weight.
Increased energy : Since this is a psychostimulant, it increases both mental and physical energy. With heightened motivation, you may be more inclined to eat a healthier diet, work out more often at the gym, or set some type of health and fitness goal.
Physical activity : Those that have increased energy levels are more likely to engage in some sort of physical activity. Self-control : This drug improves mental performance and could indirectly improve your health as a result of self-control. Those that have ADHD tend to lack some self-control — when dopamine levels increase, self-control and awareness increase.
This may mean that you now are able to resist eating a chocolate cake, whereas before taking the drug, you may have been unable to resist the impulsive urge.
