I take a stimulant for ADHD and for the first ,6 hours after I have zero appetite. I can literally forget to eat. The problem is when it wears off in the early evening I'm ravenous and end up binging.
I tried forcing myself to eat bigger meals through the day but it didn't make any difference. The urges come really strong at 4/5 pm regardless of what I ate earlier.
Anyone have any advice?
I am obese, technically the appetite suppression could be good for me, but every evening I ruin it.
I cannot change medications, I need to work with this right now.

I don’t have personal experience with this specifically, but it seems likely that preparing a large amount of healthy and nutritious food in advance would greatly help you.
I would focus on allowing yourself to eat to satiety as long as it’s very healthy food so you shouldn’t have the urge to snack or binge on junk food.

You cannot take a stimulant before bed, it only works for x amount of hours which is needed to function during the day.
I'm not necessarily binging unhealthy food I'm just eating very large amounts because I have intense cravings and just not feeling full.

Which stimulant?
I had that with Vyvanse but after a few weeks the loss of appetite wore off and I was back to square one (binging all day)

I don't binge or crave during the day, it's this weird thing that hits me in the afternoon, only because my appetite comes raging back.
I thought Vy is for preventing bingeing -yikes. I'm on Addy and thought about switching because of the evening binges.
