Seeing Psychiatrist AND Therapist - Should have done this YEARS ago!

Vyvanse is approved for Binge Eating Disorder and ADHD.

Thanks Gwen. I thought I remembered it as a possible help for ADHD, but I also thought that particular use was off label.

I tried it for ADHD but it's been a few years. Thanks for the clarification.

Sure thing! I don't know how long it's been approved for ADHD. I have a few friends, and children of friends, who take it for that with varying degrees of satisfaction. The connections between ADHD and BED are also pretty fascinating.

I adore my therapist. I told her in our last session how hard I bang the therapy drum in my WLS groups IRL and here online. I seriously credit therapy at least as much as the surgery in my success so far. Having the right team put together to support your mental and emotional process can make all the difference in WLS and so many other things. I'm glad you've found that.

I'm amazed that a clinician was able to spend 90 minutes with you, that's a rare thing nowadays. I hope your plan and all the moving parts come together and everything goes smoothly in your journey!

You are so right

I know people get tired of hearing it but anyone I speak with I tell them "you have to get it right between the ears before re-arranging your plumbing"

It makes a huge difference in getting to goal and keeping it off
