Adderall as weight loss?!
Question: Adderall as weight loss!?
I'm currently 16, and I've gotten a bit overweight lately due to stress!. As you all probably know, stress weight is some of the hardest weight to get off, and I've been working my rear end off at the gym for practically minimal results!. Controlling what I eat has gotten better, but it's not on a normal level yet and I really can't help it!. I have too many habits of overeating when I stress or study, which is a good 98% of my time!.
I heard that Adderall makes you lose weight, and it also has the benefit of making you focus!.!.!.which I could greatly use in school for finals!. Now I don't want any of your lectures about how to eat right and exercise, IT'S NOT WORKING!. I'll keep up with it like I have for the past couple of months, but I think I need an extra boost, it's extremely depressing to look in the mirror, KNOW you're trying, and still look bad!.
Anyone who has ever taken Adderall for weight loss!.!.!.how many mg/day, and what were your results!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
I don't recommend taking adderall for the sole purpose of weight loss, and doubt that a doctor would prescribe it for just that!. I can, however, testify to this side effect!. I take 10/20mg once per day for tiredness, and I stay an average of 10 pounds below my natural weight!. Now I started out at about 130lbs, and for a guy the weight loss has not been welcome!. I have to force myself to eat in order to stay somewhat healthy!.
The adderall doesn't make you 'lose weight' really, or burn off weight while you sleep!. It takes away the mental effect of an appetite!. I still get very hungry, yet find literally no food appealing!.!.!.and get sick thinking of food on occasion!. I wouldn't recommend it for you if you plan on taking the meds and then eating crap when you get hungry!. This will probably help you if you eat healthy, and make sure your meals stay balanced!. It will probably burn you a few calories as well, since you'll have more energy!.
A word of warning though: the tolerance to this drug is HIGH!. I felt significantly diminished effects after 2-3 weeks of use!. DO NOT start taking more and more to achieve the same effect!. It is essentially amphetamines, and a speed addiction is not what you want!. Make sure you get sleep, eat right, and the tolerance should be something you can deal with!.
Sorry if this was longer than you expected, bottom line:
I'm 18, naturally 130lbs!.
I've taken adderall for a few months, 10 or 20mg once a day
I've dropped 10 pounds since starting, and stayed there!.
Just be smart with this stuff!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was prescribed Adderall by my doctor, I have adult ADHD!. I asked my doctor which medication would be best for me and he picked Adderall!. He also had just told me i need to lose some weight!. I do not suggest using it as a weight loss pill, that could cause other problems in the long run and the weight comes back after you stop!. If you have trouble focusing or you find yourself easily distracted then talk to your doctor about these things!. You cannot get Adderall without a prescription and taking someone else's medication could really mess you up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
