I started taking Adderall XR again after a 2 month break because I couldn't deal with having no attention span and sleeping 12 hours a day. During the 2 months I was off of it I gained 15 lbs which put me in a healthy weight range for my height. Now that I have been taking a low dose (10mg) for the past 6 weeks or so it has been really hard for me to maintain the weight I gained even though I'm eating at least 2,000 calories a day. I don't know what's up.

I'm a 5'5 female and get hardly any exercise, so 2,000 calories should be more than enough to maintain 112 lbs.
 
Only levo-thyroxine will speed up your metabolism. You lose weight on speed because you eat less and have greater muscle tone which burns calories. A high-calorie liquid like they have in those work-out stores is perfect for that kind of maintenance, just make sure you get the high-calorie kind.
 
I quite like the way Amphetamine makes me motivated and get on with things , I done amazing in work when taking freebase powder, although it causes Psychosis, acne, ulcers and lots of other unwanted things, I wonder if Adderall is any different from the stuff you get on the streets when it comes to this ?

What do you mean by "greater muscle tone which burns more calories?"

All your skeletal muscles will be more tense at any given time, even when you are not physically active. Therefore, the calories you burn just sitting around doing nothing are increased. The increase in body temperature burns calories as well. This includes the muscles that allow you to sit and stand upright without thinking. The opposite effect is seen with antipsychotics so they make you obese over time.
