I took a break from taking vyvanse and I managed to stop binging for a couple of days. But my binges returned after those days and I couldn’t go a single day without binge eating. I personally don’t know how to go about not binging without vyvanse. I was trying my 1 hour delays but I had such a hard time committing to that. I feel like I have a ravenous appetite without vyvanse and I’m just losing hope in recovery at all.

So I’d like to know if people out there have recovered from binge eating after stopping vyvanse.

Hi everyone! I wanted to post this here since Vyvanse is used for both adhd and binge eating disorder and I’ve learned so many tips on this journey from this subreddit so thank you! I was prescribed 30mg vyvanse soley for the purposes of helping my binge eating disorder.

The difference was night and day. For the first time in 6+ years I felt my brain not seeking food out for any purpose other than hunger. I felt so at peace with myself and I finally started to live my life in the ways I’ve always wanted to. That only lasted a few weeks though before the symptoms set in.

I’ve managed to treat the physical symptoms like dry mouth, change in my BO, and lack of sleep. But I get super irritated now after taking it and in the evenings i get really depressed. And I also have zero motivation to do anything I used to do.

My irritation is starting to affect my relationships. I can’t talk to anyone for hours just to avoid crashing out on my boyfriend or sister. I even lost a really good friend recently because I abruptly left her birthday party after someone made a shady comment towards me (the comment wasn’t a big deal but if I hadn’t been on vyvanse I would have not let the comment effect me so much).

I also get super paranoid and irritated around my boyfriend.
When he mentions barely interacting with another woman in his day to day life my whole day is ruined. Before I felt mentally stable and had barely no insecurities about my relationship. But it’s like no matter how much I tell my brain there’s nothing to worry about I lose my mind either way.

I take it dissolved in water and I drink half of it after breakfast and half in the afternoon.
