if its not working well with you right now, id personally ask about something else. do they still have diet pills where you live? the old ones are frowned upon here in the US, but they're still produced and prescribed, mostly (it seems...) by family doctors and the weight loss specialists. some of those...tenuate, phendimetrazine, maybe even phentermine..seem (to me, a non-expert) like they might help without being as harsh as amphetamine.
sorry about all this. please do talk to your doctor and also...not to question your shrink, but ive sometimes found running things past a caring family doctor really helps, too.

I need to see my general doctor soon as I need to check in about some blood tests I had done recently. He always takes my blood pressure and will pick up if my heart is not happy but maybe that's just the added anxiety. I think we still have diet pills in Oz but getting my gp to prescribe them would be impossible as he thinks they are dangerous.
My P'doc knows I have a sensitivity to most pills now so he always asks me to google them first to see what I think of them. His specialty is eating disorders and developing a good all round approach to that. I have failed in that. I did google Vyvanse but did not dig deep enough. Kind of unsure right now but stopping them puts me right back into place where I really don't want to be. I am still hoping for an improvement at 70mg but maybe this is wishful thinking.
