I about to begin taking Adderall again for ADHD. The previous time I took it, I was a healthy weight- but still lost about 10-15 pounds. I have gained a good deal of weight since then...about 50 pounds. Just asking for personal stories on weight loss from the drug.
I am prescribed the drug. I am NOT taking it specifically for weight loss. Please do not lecture me on the dangers of Adderall, or on the ease of exercising rather than relying on a drug.
I am not relying on the drug for weight loss, just looking forward to the benefit of it's weight loss side effect.
Any personal experiences are welcome!
I am 5ƈ, 190 pounds. When I previously took the drug I was about 150, and got down to 140 within a few months.
How much did you lose? What was the time frame? Most importantly, Did you ever regain your normal appetite?

Weight loss is definitely a side effect of Adderall. In fact, some physicians prescribe it specifically for temporary or adjunct weight loss. There is not a specific amount that people lose on it, only that is a possible effect of the drug. Because Adderall is not a long acting drug, your appetite should return in just days after discontinuing the medication.

i also take adderall and notice a change in my eating so your not alone
