Has anyone tried both (not at the same time, but to treat the same symptoms?) Phentermine also helped me with losing weight but the focus and stimulation I got from it helped me achieve so much more in a day. Also, Phentermine is not a lifestyle medication - never more than a few months. Also, insurance wouldn't cover it - it was about $80 / month.
Vyvanse - I found that 37.5 Phentermine was effective for my ADHD but is Vyvance Better?

I have taking both the phentermine makes me feel great and loose weight and plenty or energy. The vyvanse helps me to be able to pay attention and can actually focus I haven't lost any weight with just the vyvanse but don't really gain it either.
I have ADHD and depression. I just stopped Vyvanse to go back on to Phen. While I like Vyvanse, I have better results with the Phentermine. Better focus, more energy and better control over obsessive food cravings. I can eat a piece of cake and instead of the entire cake be cause it tastes sooo good. I can get work done even if I know there is a bowl of candy in the next room. Vyvanse did noting for those compulsive behaviors for me. To be honest, taking Phen makes me feel "normal".
Vyvanse is Lisdexfetamine which metabolizes into Dextroamphetamine after passing through the liver. Dextroamphetamine is exponentially more powerful than Phentermine. I'm on straight D-Amp and it's a hell of an appetite suppressant along with being highly effective for my ADHD. Vyvanse basically is D-Amp it just takes a couple of hours to become bio-available. Vyvanse has a mechanism of action that lowers abuse potential but it's still a Schedule II. Dextroamphetamine Sulfate is way cheaper than Vyvanse, I don't know if that's an option for you, but just a suggestion.
