I really can’t take my medication as it kills my appetite and it’s shit at the best of times. Really don’t know what to do

I've been struggling with the same thing. I've tried Adderall XR and Concerta so far, with neither really actually helping with my focus or executive function. All I got were headaches, sinus pressure, uncomfortable appetite suppression (felt like my throat was full), and a few other standard stimulant side effects.

Waiting on Vyvanse to see how the prodrug formulations work out, but I'm not optimistic. Concerta did help with my anxiety, but the side effects overpowered any benefit.

Exactly why I stopped taking them as the negatives outweigh the benefits.
