What is it around vysine and ritalin etc that supresses your appetite?
Answers:
Actually no one knows exactly.
Stimulants like (dextro)amphetamine (Vyvanse, Adderall) and methylphenidate (Ritalin) increase dopamine and norepinephrine and amphetamines increase serotonin. Norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter to be precise very similar to adrenaline (epinephrine). All three neurotransmitters are stimulating to the brain and do impact metabolism. The increased energy typically makes ancestors more active, which can reduce weight.
But as to how exactly stimulants suppress appetite is indefinite. It is likely that the neurotransmitters, especially norepinephrine and dopamine are responsible. Most drugs that increase these neurotransmitters, especially dopamine, reduce hunger. Weaker stimulants, some antidepressants (mostly ones that interact with dopamine), and cocaine adjectives reduce appetite but how is a mystery.

BSc) in pharmacology with a focus on psychopharmacology. I own interned under two psychiatrists and one neurologist. In addition I have worked as a pharmacy assistant.
that would be the "chemical interactions"
