I have been taking Vyvanse for 4 months. I did have headaches the first 2-3 weeks. I sleep better than ever taking Vyvanse, but my doctor and I suspect that I’m hyperactive which explains sleeping better. I find the med quite calming. I take 40 mg in the morning and often get tired by noon, so I take another 20 mg. It did suppress my appetite a little for the first 2 months. I no longer eat out of boredom. I used to eat a lot of chocolate, but not anymore. I don’t notice much appetite suppression anymore–I get hungry at the usual times like I did before I started taking Vyvanse.

I have had dizziness, but I don’t think it is due to the medication. I dieted to lose the extra pounds I gained from all that chocolate, and I find that adding a bit more salt works to stop the dizziness. I eat something a bit salty, like a pickle or olive, which takes care of it.
