Hi doctor. I started taking Vyvanse a few months ago and for a while I couldn't figure out why I notice a sickly-sweet body odor on myself. While I'm at work, after about 2-3 hours I notice the smell and it smells strong. It's a sweet, unpleasant odor and I can't smell it on my clothes at work but can smell it in the air around me and others can, too.
I've changed my detergent from liquid to powder, changed brands and added/eliminated fabric softeners... I've changed/eliminated my perfumes and body washes/lotions/hairsprays and deoderants and I still notice the smell comes back. I've used vinegar, baking soda and bleach in my washing machine because I thought that was the problem but it's produced from my skin.
I'm assuming the Vyvanse is what's making me smell this way since I haven't noticed it until I started it, but I am not 100% sure. Has anyone else ever mentioned this problem?
