Hey I've been on Dexedrine IR now for a few days and have noticed severe appetite suppression. Currently taking around 15 mg and will increase as directed by my doctor.

Is there anyways to combat this effect caused by Dexedrine? The doc said eat a big breakfast which I have been trying but later in the day I try and eat and things taste like card board and I don't enjoy eating like I used to. :(
 
You seem to have a fairly good relationship with your doc so you can try talking to him about orexigenics. There are a lot of different options you could try on your own (check out the wiki article titled orexigenic) but some require prescriptions and there is nothing wrong with speaking with a pro about it. The simplest option is consuming calorie and nutrient rich foods (whether synthetic or not), but a more regular lifestyle would involve appetite increasing substances.

Do you just take 15 mg once per day?

What's your total dose per day?

For example, I take 10 mg 3 times a day (30 mg total/day).
 
Dexedrine is great at completely destroying my desire to eat food. It's pretty intense.

My solution is two fold:

Eat a large meal right before taking the Dexedrine.
Snack throughout the experience (on Dexedrine).
Stay hydrated. (water is your friend)

and

Smoking cannabis brings my desire to eat back and makes cooking/preparing food a fun experience (even more fun since there's Dexedrine in my system) and then allows me to actually eat the food and enjoy it.

I acknowledge your cannabis solution to lack of hunger, but ever since I've been on Dexedrine I don't have the urge to smoke a lot. It makes the Dexedrine more intense for me anyhow and sometimes causes panic attacks and worsen chest tightness/ pains.
