YES!!! Adderall can be used for weight loss, although it is not healthy. When a person doesn't have ADHD or ADD it has the opposite effect. It works as if you were on speed, your no longer hungry as long as your on the pill so you do not eat which causes you to lose weight. Plus, you have alot of energy. The downside is it makes you feel like you're on meth or in other words a "tweeker." You cant sleep, you figit & move around constantly, you talk a lot, it's pretty much a VERY VERY strong diet pill...but is VERY VERY addictive. I WOULD NOT recomend taking the pill.

Can Adderall cause weight gain?
Weight loss is a side effect. Not everyone loses weight, but Adderall is known to help with weight loss. Although, sometimes that isn't always good. I have developed an eating disorder because of Adderall. You just have to be smart about it, and never abuse Adderall.AnswerWhen you first begin taking Adderall, one of its side effects is to reduce appetite which results in weight loss. However, this side effect only lasts about six months and then disappears and your normal appetite returns.
Can long term use of Adderall cause weight gain?
I really hope your not seriously asking that, but in case you are I'll answer it..... Adderall's active ingredients are racemic amphetamine and dextroamphetine. Amphetamines are powerful stimulants capable of greatly inducing sympathetic nervous sytem responses. The result of this is an extremely decreased appetite and high metabolism. Both of those result in weight loss. Adderall is prescribed to some people who are morbidly obese as a means of making them lose weight.
What is the average weight loss when taking Adderall?
Adderall affects everyone differently, so it is all about how much is taken and how often. Adderall XR will most likely cause loss of appetite (more so than regular Adderall). It all depends on how much you eat in a day. I take Adderall XR and there are times when I do not eat until dinner time. It varies for everyone.
Which add medication makes you lose weight?
"Adderall is an amphetamine used to treat ADD/ADHD. Like many pharmaceutical medications, some of the side effects include loss of appetite and weight loss(particularly in adolescents)."Ritalin and Dexedrine also have similar effects concerning weight loss. They are all prescription meds.
Can you take Adderall for weight loss?
Of course it helps you lose weight. But NOT the healthy way!!!There's no doubt that adderall does take a huge toll on your body. The only reason one would experience these symptoms severly is if you are taking the drug just because you have a little issue "paying attention". Adderall is a drug that America now uses as a new miracle drug for everything. I am a user of adderall for 2 years now and I can tell you that I have never been in the hospital due to issues eating, fatique, or sleep. You have to be responsible when taking this medication. If your body does not face difficulties focusing on things around you, or if you are too hyper-active, adderall isn't the drug for you. Using adderall for weight loss is a very stupid thing to do. If you want to lose weight, try doing it the healthy way. Don't risk having a serious problem with Adderall just because you don't want to get in a gym and put down the mcdonalds. If you have an issue with metabolism, I would try seeing a health and fitness doctor to help you with your goal. If you use adderall to lose weight, you could potentially be addicted to the substance and it could harm your immune system. Adderall "mimics" a chemical in the frontal lobe of the brain, called "seretonum". This chemical determins your mood swings and how your mind reacts to events. If you have too much seretonum, you face either ADD or ADHD. If you don't have enough seretonum you could be diagnosed with Terets, skitzophrenia, or chronic depression. Adderall replaces the imbalance of chemicals in the brain to have one with problems, acting more calm and collected. If you take this medicine and have no chemical imbalance, you are putting yourself in danger.Of course adderall will cause you to loose weight but that does not give anyone a reason to take it unless otherwise specified by you're doctor and leagle prescried. Adderall is a very powerful psychostimiulant.========================================================it doesnt make you teqnically lose weight but it tricks your stomach into not being hungrey so your body starts eating away at your fat, so yes it does but for that reasonand i would not recommend taking adderall because if you do not have a.d.h.d or a.d.d it would act like speed

You don't actually lose weight, you lose you appetite as one of the side effects which can lead to the loss of weight. But it is not healthy whatsoever to take if you plan on losing weight. There is no such drug that you can take that will make you lose weight, the best weight is through deit and excecise.
