Hi everyone,

The reports on here are all over the place. Some people say the appetite suppression tapped out after a few months, others say it’s held for years.

The controlled trials (up to 52 weeks) show pretty consistent decreased appetite across the full duration — no clear fade in the data.
For context: I have BED, which has been worsened by folds with YoYo-dieting 🫠 Currently also on atomoxetine 25mg alongside the Vyvanse.

I have been on this combo for a week or two now, appetite suppression has been remarkable as I shape new eating habits. HOWEVER

Curious to hear from people :

• How long have you been on Vyvanse?  
• Did the appetite suppression hold, soften, or disappear?  
• If it softened, did a dose bump bring it back, or did tolerance just rebuild?  
• BED vs ADHD indication — does that change how durable the effect is?  
• Anyone else on a Vyvanse + atomoxetine combo?

🙏

Hi guys, I have been prescribed 25mg of strattera for ADHD. Worked wonders, upped to 40 then 60 and 80 no remarkable effects, in fact, feel nothing. once beyond 100mg, I feel it like a nuke in my brain where I just stop talking.

So question is, do I stick with higher doses longer and see or just stay with the 25mg for ever? lots of doctors I meet say its a "subtheraputic" dose and probably wont maximise efficacy. (I know its a slippery slope)

Will much appreciate your experiences on this.
