Reduced appetite or appetite suppression is a very common side effect of those types of medications.

Yes, thanks I should have been more clear that I knew that going in. It was the contrast that surprised me. I wasn't sure if the original hunger was just my excuse for over eating, or something I was imagining. But after talking with other people who don't take ADHD meds, I found they had the same hunger level as I do on the meds, but naturally.

Chiming in to say I had the exact same realization after starting vyvanse. Itβs helped me with my relationship to food, because now I know what it feels like to not clean my plate during every meal.
A year ago I was diagnosed with ADHD (inattentive) and prescribed a very low dose of Vyvanse (amphetamine based). Suddenly it was gone. I'd want to eat at normal times, I'd eat a normal portion but I could easily walk away or I actually just didn't want more. I asked my wife, is this what other people feel like? It really rocked my world a bit. It's one thing to logically know that people experience reality differently, but I've rarely had such a stark example of it.
