      Late to this party, but I binge eat when I’m off my meds.

      I lost 45 lbs (~20 kilos) the first year I was on meds. Didn’t skip meals or anything - just stopped eating second whole meals after the first.

      I am assuming this is referring to medicated ADHD. Stimulates are often associated with decreased hunger. When I was on vyvanse I completely lost my sense of hunger and only went off my bloodsuger. Like “damn I feel dizzy and zombie like. Food time”

        Aaah suddenly this makes a lot more sense, thanks for the clarification.

        I’m undiagnosed (finally should get that done… 🫣), so I have absolutely no experience with the medication.

      I think it has to do with the medicine. I’m on a less common ADHD medication and I don’t get like this. Unless I’m working for some reason 🤷‍♀️

          currently none because my insurance says i need something called a “prior authorization” which means i have to spend hours playing phone tag with my doctor first 🫠

          I am hoping that amphetamine salts will help me not be bored-hungry all the time and help with motivation to get to the gym regularly. I miss being healthy :[
