Anyone have luck with Vyvance for binge eating disorder

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post. I've been on Olanzapine for about 8 months. It causes me sleep eat with no recollection. I am on it for extreme night terrors and does help. However I've gained 60 lbs and in turn led to an eating disorder. I do have adhd however I've been put on Vyvance to control my binging disorder. The eating disorder and weight gain has caused severe depression as I've had eating disorders in the past however in a different manner. Now I'm finding the opposite situation. I can barely eat and somehow lost 30 lbs in a month. Not healthy! But at the same time I'm happy about the weight loss. There are other factors to the weight loss but I feel I lost too much too fast. I'm still very over weight and do plan on start exercising. Does anyone know if I'll adjust to the medication and get a normal healthy eating pattern? I'm scared ill in turn go the other way with an eating disorder. I am coming off olanzapine due to the weight gain but then will have to deal with the night terrors. I'll see how that goes. Again, sorry if I posted in the wrong group but any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you

I tried it for a month, but I stayed so nauseous while on it. Anything I ate or drank came right back up and I got dangerously dehydrated. I was so disappointed. I really wanted it to work for me.

I'm having major stomach issues and hoping it's not the medicine. I'll give it some time. Thank you for replying
