I made what was objectively a tasty dinner and I managed about 2 bites before I just couldn't eat anything else. Guess I'll go back to a later than normal dinner time.

Vyvanse, since I know somebody will ask. Wonderful for focus, but hell on an appetite.

Yup, one of the many reasons I switched to Strattera as a teenager.

I know this post is old, but did it help? I originally stopped taking ADHD meds (probably Vyvanse) because they absolutely decimated my already poor appetite. I really want to start something, but I don't want that again.

In my experience, yes my meds do help a lot. I can't do stimulants and have found that Strattera is a great alternative. I'm able to work and keep focus. I've been taking it for over a decade now.
