A member asked:
I have dealt with binge eating disorder and compulsive overeating for years in therapy, but would be interested in considering vyvanse, does it work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vyvanse ?'s: Vyvance can be used successfully with eating disorders, etc., and it "works" by focusing attention on singular events, diminishing the tendency to ignore complulsive behavior without rational control. Amphetamines have the foregoing effect, but as most behavioral disorders, it is not perfect.
