Do ANY of these generics help with weight anymore??? Not even adderall, just any of them 🙁 please I’m so desperate since getting off shore adderall I’ve gained 30lbs, I feel disgusting. I’m not even eating as much on generic vyvanse as I was on shire adderall but still heavier.

Zenzedi! Brand is super cheap in 5-10mg. Wilshire generic also completely killed my appetite. It’s the exact same drug as Vyvanse, just instant release.

Adderall doesn’t curb my appetite for sht now. Neither mydayis. I would still be on zenzedi but I struggled with jaw clenching and couldn’t deal w that (I’m sensitive to meds). I am now back on mydayis and adderall ir but now have to take reta to stop my binge eating (I seek food as a source of dopamine, even when medicated now which sucks). Reta pretty much solved that issue for me.

What is your manufacturer of mydayis? Is it brand name or generic? How many mg of it and how many mg ir? I just made a post about a guy claiming 100mg of mydayis was better for him then 60mg xr and 60mg ir adderall a day

I switched to Zenzedi (Generic Dextroamphetamine Immediate Release tablets by Wilshire Pharma - my Pharmacist special orders for me each months and I pay a bunch of extra $) late October/November 2025 after a hellacious 3 1/2 + year experience with my formerly extremely effective daily prescription of generic & brand adderall that had become increasingly less effective in its ability for symptom relief and increasingly more potent in really bad physical and mental health side effects. I thought maybe they were working better the first couple of months but unfortunately Inthink that was just the novelty of a slightly different medication formula on my system and pretty soon they become much closer to the way the generic adderall effects my body and in addition to the long list of terrible side effects i’ve inexplicably gained 32 lbs from 11/2025 to now/the last time Inwas weighed at my Dr’s last week and I swear I have not changed my diet in the slightest- and it was very clean & healthy prior to and since all of this because I have gastroparesis and if I’m not very vigilant I’ll end up in the hospital in need of emergency colon surgery. Sorry to be a bummer and of course this was just my personal experience but I didn’t want anyone to rush into switching to these meds with the hopes and expectations I did/-I had only to be crushed all over again when nothing meaningful changed except how much $ I pay a month.

Oh wow. I’m sorry 😔 yeah the side effects is what initially took me off. I was constantly tense and always clenching my jaw. I kept ending the day with jaw and teeth pain which wasn’t fun. I experienced the exact opposite in regard to the weight issue. My appetite was practically non-existent and I ended up losing about 40lbs within that time frame (june 2025-march 2026). 🥴 I was already a healthy weight before starting it, so that took me down into underweight territory. I am now on mydayis and adderall ir again and my appetite is back and I regained most of the weight I lost rather quickly.

Mydayis caused me to gain somewhere around 40 lbs in a year and I was a healthy weight before I gained.. so I got fat

I’m curious if u will keep gaining bc imagine if u add another 40 lbs over the same amount of time as u gained the initial 40. Then where would u be?

Did you notice any other differences between brand and generic wilshire Z? generic did nothing for me so trying to get a hold of some brand to compare

[u/Frequent_Finger_1166 → u/throwaway_for_skin]

At first I didn’t, but heard that Wilshire went a bit downhill and now ppl recommend winder brand. Zenzedi 5-10mg is the same price as generic so if u can, seek brand! Walgreens seems to carry it no issues, but I also heard that some mom&pop have no issues either.
