I was originally diagnosed with ADHD in my last few years of college. I was put on 20mg Adderall and it opened doors to me, I wish I had started the meds back in high school. I did actually lose about 20 pounds on Adderall. Sadly, I ran into substance abuse after college and was forced to stop treatment. Recently, with the substance issues long behind me, I’ve started on 30mg of Vyvanese and I’m hopeful, based on the first two days of appetite suppression, that I may be able to shed some of the weight I gained after stopping Adderall. I could stand to lose 10-20 pounds again and still be healthy. Here’s to hoping.
On a side note, I initially resumed treatment with Ritalin and it was awful, the ups and downs, the roller coaster and inconsistent effects each day. Vyvanese seems to be much closer to what I remember Adderall doing for me. The effects are subtle at 30mg though, so in 30 days I’m going to ask about going to 50 or 60 mg.
