I quit smoking and vaping and then went onto Elvanse and could chain vape four e-cigarettes a week. It’s making me feel awful but the meds are working so great but the cravings are insane. Anyone else dealt with this?
Yep, I still deal with it and I don‘t think it‘ll get less. I guess it‘s the Amphetamins that cause the crave, but I don‘t know why. I‘ve also experienced this when I was self-medicating with Speed before I got Elvanse.
Vyvanse saved my life. The others made it worse in other ways
I only use my meds sparingly, as needed, but they make a HUGE difference when I actually sit down at my computer to get something done. They DO make nee vape a lot, but I think anxiety in general does that.
Is this the first medication you’ve tried? If so, and if you’d like to stay on meds for now, would your doctor be open to you trying a different medication? For me, my Vyvanse (which I believe is the same as Elvanse, just a different brand) kills most/all of my cravings but other stimulants, like Adderall, increased my focus but also increased my cravings. So it’s possible there’s a better option for you out there. And, like others have said, if you end up deciding that you’re happier and healthier without medication, that is valid as well. <3
