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 reason

and 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

One major side effect of Adderall (among many) is appetite suppression. Your body does not feel the "hunger pains" nearly as much, so you do not "remember" to eat. Thus, eating less leads to weight loss.

It is not a diet pill...weight loss may be a side effect but if you want only to lose weight there are better meds out there. However if you eat compulsively or to escape yourself effexor, as it balances your outlook, may initiate weight loss.

I am not a pharmacist or physician...just speaking from my own experience and what I have read.

No, a person cannot take Adderall for weight loss. It is not used to help people with losing weight, it is used for other health problems.

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.


Can you take adderall lexapro lamictal all same time I was perscribed lexapro and lamictal from same dr. then i went to diet dr. he perscribed adderall for weight loss i didnt tell him bout lex lami?

i know you can do lexapro and adderall at the same time since i am personal prescribed to both. I am not sure what lamictal is though. Just try to take the adderall in the morning and take the lexapro at night since they would work against each other and would cause more than needed stess on your liver.

Is 60mg of Adderall and 20 mg of lexipro a good combination to take for depression low energy and weight loss?

Adderal is not a weight lossdrug. It is for ADHD and ADD. Amphetamines prescribed for weight loss were banned in 1972 and use for depression has not been approved.Dopamine is a neurotransmitter found in the brain-not the bloodstream. Lexapro affects Seratonin-another neurotransmitter in the brain.Are you depressed because of your weight? NOT a good reason to take these powerful drugs.There is never a good reason to take any drugs that have not been specifically prescribed by a medical professional for your use.
