Can Adderall cause weight gain

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

It drastically lowers your appetite, so you dont eat that much food. Ive skipped two whole meals on adderall, not eating enough food is bad for you, but you will loose weight. On the side it also makes you more productive, which makes you move faster, and get a ton of things done.

Answer 3

Adderall contains a central nervous stimulant known as amphetamine. Amphetamine increases certain chemicals in the brain that help contribute to focus and attention; two of these chemicals are norepinephrine and dopamine. The increase of these two chemicals cause weight loss in two ways; firstly, the blood pressure and heart rate increases and secondly the appetite diminishes. In addition, muscular exercise is easier on Adderall.
