Common Questions and Answers about Adderall for weight loss drug
adderall
I was not on it for weight loss it was for other reasons. But you are correct if you want to continue to smoke you can guarantee yourself you will have the munchies. Now what I had been doing and it does seem to work,... If you going to get high or take edible. Have something ready to eat that is healthy. Rather than chowing down a half gallon of chocolate ice cream, have a couple tuna sandwiches pre-made.
# STUNTED GROWTH AND WEIGHT LOSS Particularly in children, Adderall can decrease growth and cause significant weight loss. Children who take Adderall for long periods should be carefully monitored for these Adderall side effects by having their height and weight measured regularly.
Other Adderall Side Effects
Other Adderall side effects can include significant loss of appetite, mood changes, insomnia, dry mouth, and headaches.
What is happening now?
t really mind (dry mouth, loss of appetite, more outgoing/energy, weight loss) but I do have one strange one that I'm not too sure about.
I take my adderall after I eat a full breakfast, which is normally my only meal of the day (adderall dismisses my appetite). After about an hour of taking my medication, I have to go to the bathroom. I don't have an upset stomach, nausea, or anything like that, I just feel that pressure you get when you know you have to make a bowel movement.
I've been taking regular adderall (non xr) for 10t years for ADHD. The medicine does help with the ADHD but I'm concerned with the long term effects. I know Adderall can cause weight loss /decrease appetite as a side effect. With the exception of the past couple of years I was able to keep my wieight down partly due to the drug. However the past 2 years or so I seem to be gaining wieight.
My doctor also prescribed Phenteramine 37.5 mg for weight loss. I take both together in the morning. I do go to him every month and have a check up so he can check my blood pressure...it is always low anyways. But he does keep a close eye on me. Also, if I have something stressfull happen in my life, I drop the phenterimine for a couple of days to prevent an anxidy attack. Phenteramine does make you anxious,,, more so than the adderall or Concerta.
Last year I stopped taking my 30mg XR adderall because of weight-loss problems. Now i am a generally healthy boy and the only condition I have is asthma, which I out-grew years ago. Last night around eight o'clock I took one of my old 30mg XR capsules to see if it would help me with a big homework assignment. Now it is 8 o'clock the next morning and I haven't slept, there is a tightness around my heart/chest, and I feel like my body really wants to move.
I am guessing that you see two different doctors. One for weight loss and one for your ADHD/anxiety. I say this because
Basically phentermine is a stimulant (works like adderall), but works differently then adderall. I am not sure you should be taking it with adderall. "Phentermine use is containdicated in those who are:
Taking amphetamine (i.e. Adderall, Dexedrine, Vyvanse), in the last 14 days"

Concerta is the same drug as Ritalin, I believe, and could well be the cause of your wakefulness and loss of appetite. I take Adderall, a similar drug, to cope with fatigue, and it does dampen my hunger, for sure. It's a good consequence for me, if unintended. I take 20mg of the extended release type each morning, and can feel it wearing off by mid-afternoon. It doesn't affect my sleep.
It's possible your dosage is too high, so a consultation with your doctor is order.
I have a question regarding a recent drug test and the possibility of coming up positive. For about the past month, I was taking one, (on the rare occasion, two) 15 mg form of generic adderall in order to lose weight and stay awake during early morning hours, as I am in the process of joining the military. I am not prescribed adderall. The last one I took was last Saturday morning at roughly 7am, today is Friday, so roughly 6 days have passed since last taking any.
i'm a 24 year old male, don't know if this is the right place to be but i'm looking for some different opinions for a situation that i'm having. I've been on Adderall for about 6 months now and everything has been going fine, until now.
Before getting on the drug, I've been warned about the Appetite sepressant that it is. Although, the medicine was great in that area, i went from 283 lbs in May 08 to 209 lbs Nov.
She called the DEA and then called the weight loss doctor. The weight loss doc is the one that called me. Told me what the pharmacist said. I am fine with quitting the subox, i might need one more month to do it. And I'm fine with quitting the other. But...could i be in trouble with the DEA? I know i can't go back to the weight loss clinic. But I'm supposed to see the subox doc tomorrow. Should i call the DEA myself,explain? I didn't realize it was a problem....
Hello,
Adderall can cause anorexia,weight loss and abdominal pain but it causing taste of blood in mouth is not documented.You are having dysguesia i.e bitter or bad taste in mouth. It can be due to dental caries, gastro-esophageal reflux disease,sinusitis causing post nasal drip,salivary glands infection,pharyngitis or strep infection, medications like antibiotics, vitamins and antidepressants, poor oral hygiene, copper or lead toxicity and Sjogren’s syndrome.Can you identify any of these?
I have gained over 50 pounds while taking it and I know that it is the subutex causing the weight gain because I took methadone for 5 years before the subutex and I gained a lot of weight on it too and no matter how good I ate or exercised the weight wouldn't budge. When I went off the methadone and was drug free I lost 70 lbs. in 5 months until I started the subutex and now I am fat again.
The problem is that if not treated correctly, the person will start to self medicate and that sounds like what is going on. His Adderall might not be enough for him , or is too much (weight loss is common but can be compensated for). It appears he is taking nothing for the bipolar, but self medication.
The problem with adults (many times) is that they dislike getting professional help. He needs professional help!
I know that a side effect of Adderall is increased anxiety, and in turn high blood pressure, which in some people can lead to nosebleeds. I also wonder whether rapid weight loss (BMI 21.1 to 19.4 in 2 months) and increased blood pressure (from 119/80 to 146/96 in 2 months) together might make nosebleeds more likely.
ty for all the feedback. Yes. I do know that hes addicted. he doesnt think so. he thinks because he is still working and maintaining his business that its not a problem. he has never been prescribed them he does not have add or anything like that. He just likes the rush. i dont know how to get him to understand he needs to stop. There are also alot of people in his family that take it and that how hes gets them.
