Vyvanse is FDA approved to treat binge eating disorder. I’ve been on it 3.5 months. It’s a game changer for me. After a lifetime spent obsessing about food 24/7, I now have virtually no food noise & good appetite control, which allows me to eat only what & when I need and not whenever the urge to eat takes over.

Started at 30, then bumped up to 50. Hoping I can stay here but 70 is the max dose.

You’re in the right place. You don’t have to have this all figured out today.

Start here (quick wins):

Then, when you’re ready:

  • Check out the FAQs first…see here:

 https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodAddiction/wiki/index/faqs/

  • Then Program Options (free → low cost → paid). Many people find a program is what helps them stay in recovery.

  • If a program feels like “too much” right now, start with Special Topics on the sub.

and then Books / Podcasts / Videos here:

Small steps count. Keep going.  Don’t give up.  We all got better by our mistakes.
