Talk to your doctor about that!. Practically all ADHD meds work as appetite suppressants!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was diagnosed as schizophrenic years ago and prescribed some very heavy medicine, (Thorazine) I was sluggish and gained lots of weight!. Last time I was hospitalized, My label was bi-polar and I was prescribed something else (Abilify)
My weight has gone from about 320!. down to today's weight of 265!. I know I have the medicine to thank for that, but I tell my friends it was will-power to quit drinking so much!. (the medicine doesn't go with alcohol)
