Vyvanse and Zinc

Okay this may be a one off thing and maybe I just coincidentally had a great day…. However…….

I’ve been on Vyvanse for about 5 weeks now. Started at 10mg and quickly jumped to 20mg as 10 made no difference. I’ve been doing pretty good on 20mg but have been noticing slumps and inconsistency in my focus, productivity, and overall feeling throughout the day. I haven’t been getting a lot of nutrients in my diet, mostly due to not having a good appetite while on the meds. I’ve been reading up on supplements to take that may help with how I’ve been feeling. One specifically being zinc. This morning I took my Vyvanse at 7AM like normal. I get to work at 8, have a high protein breakfast, and 10 minutes later take my zinc supplement (you shouldn’t take it on an empty stomach). In the whole 5 weeks of taking the Vyvanse, this was by far one of the best, most successful days I’ve had. My productivity and focus at work were the best it’s been, my feelings toward work and getting things done were positive and didn’t feel like a drag. I was engaged all day, happy to talk to people, happy to get shit done, in a great mood, and have not yet hit my daily slump where I get fatigued, hangry, tired, annoyed, etc. Normally this time of day I am hitting a wall, but I’m going strong and feeling great. I’m hoping it’s the zinc doing its job, or maybe I just had an awesome random day. Has anyone tried adding zinc to your routine? I’m going to continue taking it and see if it continues to have a positive impact.
