My doctor gave me a prescription for Vyvanese, which is a fairly new ADHD medication. While I was waiting to fill that prescription, I started taking the dextroamphetamine that I had. The first day I ate only half of my breakfast bagel and half of my sandwich, and barely snacked at all. The next few days I wasn't quite as disinterested in food, but I was back to a fairly normal level of appetite, which was a relief.

Oddly enough, I haven't lost a pound in the last week, even though I'm eating less. I haven't gained any weight, though, so that's a good sign. We will have to wait and see if the lack of appetite continues as my body gets used to the Vyvanese. Side effects, like decrease in appetite, are supposed to subside. However, my experience has been that sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't.
