Can adderall cause weight gain in adults?

Personally, I ended up gaining about 4 kgs after starting Adderall because I completely stopped moving around. I thought the focus would make me active, but I just sat at my desk for 10 hours straight without a break. I had to start setting alarms just to stand up and walk.

I have actually been gaining weight instead of losing it, and it's making me really anxious. Is anyone else experiencing this rebound hunger? I feel like I'm eating double the amount at dinner because I starved all day.

I’m already too tired from sleeping only 4 hours, but honestly, Adderall makes me starve at midnight like a wild animal. If you are gaining weight, you are probably just raiding the fridge at 2 AM like me. Let's just blame the medicine and the late-night cravings!

I logged my meals on MyFitnessPal and realized I was consuming way more calories post-medication than I thought. Tracking your food and step count really helps you see what's actually causing the weight gain. Give it a try for a week to understand your patterns.

Haan, vajan badh toh sakta hai agar body ka metabolism slow ho jaye ya fir raat ko bohot zyada bhookh lage toh. Mujhe bhi pehle ajeeb laga tha, par doctor se baat karke pata chala ye normal hai. Tension mat lo, routine set ho jayega.

Hey, don't stress too much about the weight, okay? Your mental health and focus are way more important right now than a few extra pounds. Just try to eat small meals throughout the day so you don't end up binging later. You're doing great!

Seeing the weight scale go up when everyone online says you should be losing weight is so stressful, I totally get the anxiety. It could be due to water retention or a change in your sleep cycle affecting stress hormones. Please talk to your doctor about this so you don't keep stressing over it.

I totally get it, it feels so discouraging when a medicine causes side effects you didn't expect. Weight gain can happen if your sleep gets messed up or if your eating cycle changes completely. Please be gentle with yourself and discuss this with your therapist or doctor.

Haan babuji, vajan badh sakta hai agar khane-peene ka samay theek na ho. Log bolte hain isse bhookh kam lagti hai, par jab dawa ka asar khatam hota hai toh zor ki bhookh lagti hai. Thoda niyamit khana khayenge toh sab theek rahega.

Bro, exact same thing happened to me. I thought I'd get shredded on Adderall, but I ended up gaining weight because I kept ordering late-night pizza when the crash hit. It’s literally just the evening cravings, gotta watch out for those!

It all comes down to your caloric intake at the end of the day. If you don't eat all day because of the Adderall and then smash a 1500-calorie dinner, you will gain weight. Try prepping high-protein snacks to eat during the day even if you don't feel super hungry.
