So that’s the story behind this article. Now, go ahead and read it. 

The origin of Vyvanse

Honestly, I was shocked that something like this exists; binge eating is a disorder.

Why Vyvanse only?

So, the actual name for this drug is lisdexamfetamine dimesylate. 

And as per medical experts, this is a prodrug, and what does prodrug mean?

According to Wikipedia, “A prodrug is a medication or compound that, after administration, is metabolized (i.e., converted within the body) into a pharmacologically active drug.”

Well. Here is highly rated news: Vyvanse is a drug that is always under the eye of the federal department of the US government. The prime reason is that research proves this drug can lead to addiction and drug abuse.

Imagine, cure became another deadly disease. This is why Vyvanse is given in controlled amounts.

Vyvanse is only used and given in adults, which means people who are above 18 years old can use this highly addictive drug to cure their ADHD and binge eating disorder.

Vyvanse affects the central nervous system. It alters the balance of some chemicals and naturally produced hormones in the brain, such as dopamine and norepinephrine.

Dopamine is the hormone that makes one happy, the happy hormone which gives you a feeling of accomplishment. Norepinephrine is a stimulant that does similar work. 

People who have ADHD, when they start to use this, can notice sudden happiness, and the person starts doing work that makes them feel accomplished.

Effects of Vyvanse on the body

As previously mentioned, this drug can and will alter the balance of hormones; because of this property of Vyvanse, it is used to control hyperactivity concentration. And yes, you guessed it right, this can also be used to cure depression.

Binge eating disorder feels like a Netflix show’s title, right? It’s a documentary, maybe. 

But let us not laugh at the conditions of the poor people engaged in depression.

What actually happens is that the patient knows while eating that alright I have eaten enough, I am overeating now. But here is the catch: they can’t more like it does not stop. Because this disorder is directly connected with happiness, patients have confessed that eating makes them happy(well, it makes all of us happy, eh?), so what does Vyvanse do, as you already read? It just alters crucial hormones.

It makes the mind more altered, making you feel lively, accomplished, and confident.

All this has a lot of impacts.

When taking the drug in the advised amount, the body will take its time to adjust, and as soon as it does, you will start to feel happy. You will also be more confident and able to maintain discipline.

So, as doctors have suggested, these tiny changes result in less eating. Also,

 Vyvanse decreases appetite, making one eat less because one always feels full.

Now, all that logic will, in turn, become weight loss.

Side Effects of Vyvanse

Pros and Cons: a part of everything that exists, the magical drug Vyvanse also gives the body some side effects.

Let’s explore what it is and what you can do if you face these.

  • You must let your physician know if you have any pre-existing medical condition before your health; this will allow you to stay safer.
  • Due to the jumping hormones, you might have trouble sleeping and experience jitters due to sudden changes in your body.
  • You may face some rare symptoms

    like fatigue, hallucinations, and extreme anxiety. Whatever side effects you are facing? Let your doctor know.

  • You may also experience digestive side effects, such as dry mouth, upset stomach, and other problems.

Conclusion

That is all. Now, what does the heading ask? 

Should you try it? No, man, it isn’t worth it, and it is not meant for it, right?

Until and unless situations go to extreme levels where you have no control and need medical help? Do NOT! Do anything with your intellect; contact your doctor. If the doctor suggests Vyvanse, go for it with the advised doses.
