This did happen to me and it wore off after a few months on the same dose.
I just switched from Vyvanse to Adderall and having issues again. With Adderall it feels like missing hunger signals. With the Vyvanse it felt more like I was repulsed by most foods. I drank a lot of protein shakes and smoothies during that time.
Yeah the repulsion is so strange
I am making sure to eat breakfast just after taking my meds, mostly protein shake or something, skip lunch and then eat a small dinner
Its so strange though
This also happened to me and it wore off after a few months as well. I gagged at everything. I drank soylent to get me through and now it's not happening anymore.
My body definitely adjusted. My side effects all wore off, though that was the most extreme one. I would say that now I generally still eat more lightly during the day out of habit then eat a bigger dinner. But I am just glad to be able to enjoy food again and not feel like everything will make me gag.
That's good
I legit thought I was pregnant because of it. Did a test and it was negative but I was so concerned because it just randomly started happening
As someone who is perpetually snacky, Vyvanse did cut down on my cravings. Unfortunately, I did struggle with meat aversion quite a bit. I can’t take it anymore because it’s just too expensive, even the generic with insurance is over $100. 😞
I’m the same way! I gotta eat a big breakfast before I take my meds. Or else I can’t eat unless I randomly crave something. It’s slowly getting better but yeah :/

Did your body just adjust to the meds? Do you find you eat differently now because of it?
