Dose too high or too low? Or stopped working?

Got diagnosed 2 months ago.. currently 70mg. started 30mg - didn’t do anything. 50mg - very tired. 60mg - was ok, but 70mg had the best effect. I’ve been on 70mg for a month, wondering if it’s stopped working..?

Im super restless, unfocused and get very easily bored. Plus my BED comes cravling back.

At the beginning it worked wonders. Since I also suffer from binge eating disorder(BED), it all went away the first day. And if I dont took my meds, the BED got back. But now I want to binge even if I take them everyday...

Not sure if it relevant, but I have also lost some weight lately. Could It affect the dosage? And what is going on here?

I feel the same way, I'm using 70 mg for 6 months now, but I think is for the stress, because I started in a new job, so I'm really not doing a good job yet, and I blame myself, I put myself down, I really fat, so, everything is making me feel bad about myself.

My doctor recently shared that days when you are anxious or experiencing a different strong emotion that impacts attention, your mental state will impact the efficacy of vyvanse.

That makes sense! I’ve just moved to another country, started at a new school. Also, I recently broke up with my boyfriend.. however I feel fine, best I’ve ever felt in years! Except from thiS. The breakup dosen’t affect me , since It’s what I wanted. So I dont think so much about it. Kinda care.. Or Maybe I’m feeling things, than I’m not aware of???
