I've been on Adderall Xr 30mgs since July 2004 and when I first started taking it, I was around 160. I now weigh 110 and in the first month of taking it, I lost 33 lbs. I lost the 50lbs in 1 1/2 months time.

dependence may occur with the use of this medication, and
withdrawal effects may occur if you stop taking it suddenly after several weeks of continuous use. Talk to your doctor
about stopping this medication gradually.

Adderall is not for weight loss, although that is one of its most common side effects. It is a stimulant to help people with ADD or ADHD focus. My son took it for 3 years. age 6 - 9. We took him off after school finished June 2005. At the time we took him off he wore a size 8 pant and was smaller than all of the other children. When he had his physical this year, he has grown 2 inches, he is still small for his age but I hope that will pick up. His weight has increased so much that he has stretch marks and is starting to become overweight.He now wears 30 waist, 23 length. He never learned how to eat properly because he was never hungry. Now he is always hungry. I think that taking him off the meds was the best thing. I take concerta and it does help me but theses meds have different effects depending on your age, weight and sex. They say that teenage boys should not take Paxil because it may make them suicidal.
