Re: Vyvanse

I was recently diagnosed with ADD and my doctor started me on Vyvanse. I’ve only been on it a few days, but I have already noticed a different in my ability to concentrate and clear my mind to work on the task at hand. Having just started the med, I’m on a low dose and it gets me through no more that 8hrs of work, if I take it an hour before I hit the office. I’ve noticed a few things that are different since I started the medication, but they can be caused by a number of things. I am experiencing the loss of appetite, not eating for an entire day because I’m not hungry and I didn’t realize my stomach growled, or because when I realize I haven’t eaten nothing sounds good and I can’t bring myself to force more than a bite or two of food. I am also having a very difficult time sleeping. For a few days, I was having trouble sleeping because of a loud neighbor, but even with that over with, I’m still having difficulty. Sadly, I have sleep problems anyway so I can’t tell if it is me or the med. I’m also having pretty bad dry mouth, but that can happen with any new med. Have any of you experienced some of these side effects and do they eventually decrease or go away?
