i've been on vyvanse for about 7 months now and i experience the same exact symptoms. especially the dry mouth, weight loss and irritation. however, my grades have significantly improved so i've been dealing with it a few different ways.
All these symptoms can be lessened by eating. when i don't eat and i'm on vyvanse, the side effects are much worse. I feel like I don't know what to say to people when they talk to me, I don't want to talk to anyone and I just want to sit and be quiet. When i have breakfast and i have snacks during school i feel normal and focused. You need to be fueling yourself throughout the day. Also, stay away from carbs in the morning because my doctor told me it worsens ADD.
As for the insomnia, i take melatonin at night. melatonin is natural so it's not like you're going to be medicated 24/7. you can get it as cvs without a prescription and i usually take one dose and it helps a lot with sleeping.
Basically if you take care of yourself by eating frequently, drinking water and getting sleep; the side effects you're experiencing shouldn't be as bad.
I really hope I helped!
