ADHD Stimulant Meds

[EmmaKathleen 28]

Hi there,

Does anyone here take stimulant medications for ADD/ADHD after getting sleeved? I have ADHD and have gone on and off medications since childhood. I currently take Vyvanse (an extended release stimulant medication) once a day and have been trying to find out whether or not I should talk to my doctor about changing to another medication after my sleeve surgery. I'm hoping someone who has had experience with this can help shed some light on managing ADHD after surgery. I'm still new so forgive me if this topic has already been posted. I really appreciate any and all suggestions, advice, and wisdom anyone can pass along!

I take adderall. Dose hasn't changed and I haven't noticed a difference. Just saw my PCP last week and he didn't see any reason to change it at this time. Down about 60 lbs right now.

Wow! That's awesome. Congrats! Do you take Adderall XR or regular?

Hi there, did you get any answers regarding your stimulant medications before/after your surgery?

ive been having troubles with my stimulant medications for ADHD, was bypassed before diagnosed with ADHD, but stimulants seem to be wearing off super quick.
