Adderal and hunger

[Butterflygal]

I've been on a few things for weight loss and anxiety (Xanax). The weight loss stuff hasn't worked well but my dr felt I have ADD because of symptoms and how I felt better on phentermine and Contrave (Wellbutrin/naltrexone). Anyway, I just got prescribed adderal and I am constantly hungry and can't stop talking. She Rxd me 20mg IR 2x a day. I started at 10mg 2x a day - day3. She said to start slowly and increase.. My doctor said it might cause weight loss which would be good!! Not if I keep eating like this!! 3 cookies at work and several (4- I think) mini cupcakes. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it go away?? I just rambling about nonsense to a coworker for 20 minutes!!

My experience with adderal and concerta.. i usually have a loss of appetite. Among the other effects. I don't know anyone who has had felt hunger on addy..so maybe try higher mg. I personally love 75mg XR -Joey

I was under the impression it's supposed to decrease appetite too. And my research has shown pretty much the same. Some people, like me, seem to initially have an increase for whatever reason- I tend to be the one who doesn't react the same to things. Others get munchies on some things... Not me! Maybe I'll try a higher mg. this weekend. I don't want to act like I'm tweaking at work today! I felt like I had unlimited energy yesterday. I need to drink more water on this stuff! I feel dried out...

Are you generally an impulsive person? Adderall has been shown to decrease impulsive behavior but the combo of drugs you are on may be a reason why you feel compelled to eat and definitely why you are blabbering.

Yeah, I can be impulsive but I'm not on the other meds anymore. Today wasn't so bad. Probably just getting used to the Adderall.
