I’m hoping to get some advice on what to do, I know protein shakes and smoothies are probably the obvious answer but logistically I’m not sure how well that will really work long term and throughout the day.

I’ve always struggled with eating in the mornings I can’t eat until I’ve been awake for at least an hour or two cause putting anything in me thicker than water makes me feel awful, the problem with that is that I HAVE to take Vyvanse as soon as I wake up or else I’ll be up all night. It’s seemingly is affecting my appetite worse than Adderall or Ritalin did for me.

I don’t want to stop Vyvanse because it has been working great better than Adderall & Ritalin I’m on day 5 of Vyvanse 20mg I’m taking it daily instead of as needed like I did when I tried other meds. Since i started I’ve eaten next to nothing, I usually only eat one meal at the end of the day, maybe some snacks earlier in the day (I know that’s bad)

My biggest issue with eating right now is that I already have a really hard time noticing hunger queues. With the Vyvanse removing that all together I have zero motivation or reminder to eat, even when I try to make myself I just can’t. Anything calorie dense makes me feel so sick when the Vyvanse is doing its thing. I can eat at the end of the day BUT I cannot for the life of me eat a whole meal I haven’t even been eating half of a meal. This is a problem I’m unsure how I should proceed.

Do any of you feel sick while trying to force yourself to eat? Found anything out that helps? Appetite stimulant supplement? Protein shake that’s not for weight loss recommendations? I can’t not eat and I can’t keep making myself feel sick during and after forcing eating. Please help😭

Me and my partner are moving into our third apartment this week and as we’ve been packing up we’ve been brainstorming ways to make the apartment feel like home not like we live in a hotel or it’s just a box with our shit in it and I keep coming back to the idea of peel and stick tile and wallpaper so far I’m just thinking the tile for the bathroom floors maybe some in the kitchen (backsplash and maybe floor too) and the wallpaper as an accent on cabinets.
I’ve never done this before so I’d love some ideas on how to protect the walls, floors, cabinets etc but I’m wondering, do I have to tell/ ask my landlord/leasing office before I can do this? Will I get in any kind of trouble if they come in for inspections or maintenance and see the peel and stick? Or is it more of a thing where they would only charge us if there’s any damage at move out? I checked the lease agreement and there is a portion pertaining to alterations I’ll copy and paste what it says below, let me know what you guys think! Do I have to ask for permission prior? Also I’m in Utah if that means anything.

Here is the straight copy and paste from the agreement I bolded what I think may be the determining factor of if I can or can’t do this DIY
“ALTERATIONS:
Alterations to your apartment are prohibited without written consent of the Management. The following are prohibited:
a. The installation of a television antenna or satellite dish. Under the rules of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Resident has a right to install a satellite dish and/or
receiving antenna within the leased premises. Owner/Agent is allowed to impose reasonable restrictions relating to the installation and maintenance of the satellite dish and/or receiving
antenna. Resident is required to comply with these instructions as a condition of installing such equipment. Resident further agrees to pay Owner/Agent an additional $400.00
refundable deposit and sign a Satellite Dish and Antenna Addendum prior to installing satellite dish or any other receiving antenna. Resident understands that failure to comply with the
terms of the satellite addendum, said dish or receiving antenna may be removed by Owner/Agent without warning at the Resident’s expense.
b. The use of LARGE nails or adhesive hangers for pictures or mirrors. Only picture hangers or small-framing nails may be used.
c. The boring, marring or puncturing of any part of the equipment, carpet, drapes, fixtures, walls, or ceiling of your apartment.
d. The changing of, or addition of, new locks.
e. Redecoration or painting
f. Resident shall not replace or remove any of the apartment’s equipment or furnishings, including but not limited to Washer/Dryer units, Refrigerator, Dishwasher, Stove/Range or Built-

they must have white backings.

i. Resident will not permit or suffer any signs, advertisements, or notices to be displayed, inscribed, painted, or affixed on any part of the outside of the demised premises or any
building, except on a directory board if provided by the Landlord.”

The only thing I think would be a no is the “redecoration or painting” but that’s so vague right? Maybe I should just ask for permission? Or do I ask for forgiveness instead? 🤔

I’ve tried Adderall ER and Methylphenidate IR and ER but today is my first day trying Vyvanse. I wasn’t able to try it sooner because there wasn’t a generic and my previous insurance wouldn’t cover much of any of it and there’s no way I’m paying $200 a month for meds hahaha.
The Adderall was great and worked better than Methylphenidate for me but by the time it left my system at the end of the day I would get CRAZY anxious so that’s why we tried the Methylphenidate.
Methylphenidate worked okay for me but just felt like it wasn’t enough we tried increasing the dose and the last I tried was 20mg ER with a 5mg IR in the middle of the day but it was so weird the first two times I tried it, it worked did what its supposed to the executive dysfunction was lessened (not as good as the Adderall did but better than baseline) but the 3rd 4th and 5th time I tried it it felt like it did literally nothing. Zero change what so ever I felt like i didn’t even take it. After that i decided I wanted to try an antidepressant (depression symptoms had gotten worse) I tried Wellbutrin and that was no good for me unfortunately:( I wanted it to work so bad but it didn’t:(

Anyway now I’m trying Vyvanse for two weeks and then for two weeks after that I’m going to try a different non stimulant med and I’ll meet with my psych right at the 2 week mark of the non stimulant and then I’ll decide if I want to do both or just one or neither (wish me luck the med journey sucks so bad)

I’m posting here cause I’m curious what your guy’s experiences have been with Vyvanse and what I should expect, so far I’m about 3 and a half hours into my first dose and I feel pretty normal like my baseline but with a little oophf I guess haha I feel like I have some energy (I feel chronically fatigued all the time, so tired no energy) and the executive dysfunction seems to be mostly gone so so far it’s been good. But I’m curious what I should expect from taking it everyday for two weeks? What experiences have you had? Any side effects? Anything I should watch out for? (I do know stimulants decrease appetite so I’m trying to be conscious of that) let me know!

Also I’m on 20mg of the generic if that makes a difference!

I’ve been taking Wellbutrin since April 16th and I hate it is it safe to cold turkey or should I taper if so how do I taper off I can’t cut the pills because they are extended release 150mg

I’m on day 14 of taking Wellbutrin for depression/adhd so far I’ve had no side effects (until today) and have noticed no change which is to be expected I’m on 150mg

Today at about 11am while I was at work I was partially bent over and when I stood up straight I got hot and felt like I was going to fall over and maybe faint. That has not gone away it’s 9:23pm as I write this. I ended up leaving work early and going to urgent care they were not helpful at all my BP was 117/93 they ran a bunch of tests and said I was fine and sent me on my way despite the fact I was still dizzy/vertigo and tired I just felt really really out of it. I ended up calling out of work tomorrow when I got home i managed to get some chicken noodle soup down and then I took a nap for an hour woke up for maybe 20 min and fell back asleep and woke up two hours later heavy and drenched in sweat. It’s not as bad right now I’m just really unsteady/ unbalanced but earlier anytime I moved at all I could feel the blood rushing to my head and I’d get really dizzy/ kinda lightheaded.

Anyway is this normal for this to be happening now? Will this go away? The only thing I can think of is that it’s the Wellbutrin but I can’t be like this at work, I’m a dog groomer I have to be able to walk around and stand and bend over without almost falling over. I’m supposed to work on Saturday too I really don’t want to call out of work again but man I don’t know what to do. I’ve messaged my psych she thinks it’s lack of food or water and wants me to keep going with the medication but I know this isn’t a lack of food/ water issue. I do vape nicotine I want to quit of course but I know that can also raise BP. I just don’t know why I’d be getting side effects now after taking it for two weeks

The urgent care I went to did bloodwork, urinalysis, and a EKG and took my BP and HR while laying down sitting up and standing and they said everything looked great and I’m “fine” 🙄 and told me to eat food and drink water but didn’t help figure out why the hell this is happening in the first place.

I also usually skip breakfast so that’s not new and I was drinking a redbull this morning but stopped as soon as i started to feel bad I had maybe 1/4-1/3 of it
