Did Vyvanse change what you want, not only how hungry you are?

Vyvanse can change how hungry you feel, and some people also describe a change in what they want, including less pull toward sugar or snacks. Official labelling uses decreased appetite and anorexia, not a proven rewrite of reward wanting, and it has not been shown that lisdexamfetamine rewires desire. The exact reason for a shift in wanting versus hunger 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.

I would have said I was not hungry, but it was more that nothing sounded good except maybe coffee. Sugar used to feel like a reward I chased. That chase went quiet. I still eat meals if they are in front of me. I brought the distinction to my prescriber because I did not know the right word for it. Only what I noticed.
