Is Vyvanse tablet the right medicine for anxiety and depression?
human
ive been having binging on food for about a month and a half to 2 months (eating till i wanna throw up, and eating or snacking every hour or 2.) and am already seeing a psychiatrist (for depression, and anxiety) what would be the odds of getting vyvanse to help control my symptoms

hello user, thanks for contacting HCM for your health related query . your symptoms are suggestive of binge eating disorder and seemingly vyvanse is prescibed for that only - it contains lisdexamfetamine which is a stimulant class of medicine . although currently there is limited data for its efficacy , a clinical trial had shown its efficacy in about 50 % of patients taking 50-70 mg/day dose , these patients were those who had quit binging for 4 weeks period , apart from these in many other patients the binge days decreased and the drug is approved for this purpose, so it can help you and do discuss your concerns with your psychiatrist . hope i answered your query , if satisfied please rate the answer . any followup queries are welcome
