It is not that I cannot eat on Vyvanse. I just do not want sugar the way I used to. Is that normal?

Not wanting sugar the way you used to on Vyvanse can happen, and decreased appetite is a common labelled effect, but that does not mean every person must lose sugar craving, and normal is not a single official target. Health Canada's Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) product monograph reports that about a third of trial participants had decreased appetite, and anorexia is also listed. Official language is decreased appetite or anorexia, not a proven change in reward wanting, and the exact reason a sweet tooth fades for one person and not another is not fully understood. If the change is persistent, distressing, or affecting daily functioning, bring a brief timeline to the prescribing clinician rather than changing the dose independently.
