  1. Hi guys - ive just stumbled across this thread, and am also looking for information regarding stimulant medications and gastric bypass, i was bypassed a few years before i was diagnosed with ADHD, i was prescibed dexamphetimine by my psych, but he has never treated a patient with ADHD who has had a gastric bypass, my stimulants seems to go in, barely work for 2 hours and wear off - i recently switch from IR Dex 5mg (10x per day) as i found myself topping up more often than i should have been, so i requested to switch to a XR, and was prescribed Vyvanse 70mg 1x per day.. this barely touched the sides, and infact i had no increase in focus or motivation, and found that i was struggling to keep my eyes opne at work at 1pm! so ive switched back to IR dex, but the duration of effectiveness per dose is rediculous! i did a UDS for my psych last week, and it appears that ther was alot of amphetamine traces in my urine sample.. anyone had similar? or have any recomendations? i was also wondering, does IR stimulant medication work more effectively or less effectively if your prone to forget to quite often? Thanks, i hope to hear fomr someone soon!!
