Does adderal cause weight loss?

My friend who takes some ADHD medication mentioned she lost a lot of weight. I've been considering it for my focus issues, but I'm a bit underweight already. Will it make me lose more?

Haan, weight loss toh kaafi logon ka hota hai isse because bhook bilkul marr jaati hai na. You won't feel like eating at all during the day. Just make sure you force yourself to eat healthy stuff so you don't feel weak.

I read so much about this online and was terrified of losing too much weight or getting nutritional deficiencies. It does suppress appetite, but keeping a daily calorie journal really helped me stay on track. Please check with your doctor if it drops too fast.

I can only speak from my own journey. When I was on it, my food cravings completely disappeared, and I naturally ended up losing weight without even trying. Every person reacts differently though, so your experience might vary.

Yes, it acts as an appetite suppressant. As a busy professional, I had to schedule my meal times like meetings, otherwise I would skip eating entirely. Set daily alarms to remind yourself to have regular meals.

I lost about 5 kgs in the first two months when I started. But once my body got used to the dose, my normal appetite slowly came back. Just drink high-protein shakes if solid food feels too heavy right now.

Don't stress too much about the weight loss, okay? It is a super common side effect and usually settles down after a while. Just focus on eating small, frequent meals throughout the day and take care of your health.

Since this is a stimulant that can cause weight loss and also increase heart rate, monitoring your vitals is very crucial. I always check my blood pressure regularly and consult my physician before making any changes to my routine.

Since I already manage thyroid issues, any medication that affects weight makes me extra cautious. It's always best to get your thyroid and blood sugar levels tested regularly alongside to make sure everything is in balance. Keep your doctor updated.
