Does the medication vyvanse cause weight loss?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, essentially this medication is an amphetamine, and typical side effects include loss of appetite, leading to weight loss. Discuss this with the prescribing doc to determine if the benefits outweigh this effect or if different Meds could be used instead. Good luck
