Follow-Up:
Just started taking it in 5mg dose. I had had terrible, TERRIBLE experience with Ritalin. Just gave me the WORST rebound, felt awful. Worked fine for add, though. But I could not tolerate it. So now, this new dr who is really terrific suggested a low dose of adderall xr. NO REBOUND! As for weight loss, yeah, I'm a fat guy and I lost 4, maybe five pounds in the first week and a half but most of it was water weight. Drugs are VERY dangerous and should only be used under dr's supervision. The only real way to lose weight is to exercise and cut calories. Fuck low carb diets-they'll kill you. When I first started the adderall I was running 3 or 4 times a week. Combined with the meds, the weight fell off but i got COMPLACENT and stopped running and the weight has come back on. I'm hoping that it'll drop again but I know that I must exercise, not CHEAT by taking a pill. I also take other meds. I'm trying to stop taking all meds, though, cause they are so darn expensive-the insurance, the psychiatrist.
