Why does Adderall make you not want to eat?

Answer 1

I am the same way! I eat with my medication every morning and then don't think about food until my stomach is physically growling around lunch.

A lot of the time i just drink some water or a Diet Soda though because nothing really sounds appealing and i just want the grumbling to stop. sometimes i eat half a piece of fruit or something but never more.

then whether i eat or not my stomach will stop until around dinner time when the medicine wears off and I'm able to eat something but still not very much because i haven't eaten all day and i think my stomach has shrunken down or something...

Answer 2

Answer: It really shouldn't. People who are obese take it as an off-label use. Technically it can make you tired because when it wears off it makes you exhausted. But when you first take it it makes you alert and active. If you are experiencing both of these side effects while taking Adderall, you should talk to your doctor about a dosage switch.

Answer 3

Yes. More specifically, it makes food seem unappealing. It's a side effect of adderall but try to force yourself to eat something anyways.

Answer 4

Amphetamines suppress appetite.

That's why they are prescribed for weight loss.
