Stimulants Adderall for dieting

Daily Adderall + Nexium extended release every 24 hours to prevent you from getting a bleeding ulcer. In my personal experience, Adderall might give you eating cravings when it wears off, but the PPI will get to you, you'll feel an emptyness in your stomach and no apetite.
 
I'm sorry but we are not healthcare professionals and I cannot in good faith condone or recommend self medicating amphetamines for weight loss. It's a dangerous monotreatment that should be done under the careful supervision of the prescribing physician because it can lead to unintended effects when taken as monotherapy. Weight loss is more complex than medication alone.

people self medicate with all kinds of drugs for all kinds of reasons. Why should weight loss be any different??? You culd apply that opinion to just about all of the threads on here frm OP's asking what drug is good for this and what drug is good for that. I am not condoning or condeming anything. I am passing on what worked for me and leave it up to the OP to make their own choice.
 
Because none of us are healthcare professionals and none of us know his or her medical history. We aren't qualified to pass judgement on this, and when we give people information about their positive experiences without discussing the negative impact the amphetamine treatment had on them, it can encourage the OP to continue to self medicate without seeking professional help when they need it.

It's pretty simple. If you have a problem, especially a problem that is really not simple, a complex one like obesity or abuse of amphetamines due to psychiatric illness such as body image and eating disorder patients, it's not as simple as just popping amphetamines and hoping it'll fix the problem. It doesn't address the underlying conditions.

To properly manage weight loss, you should consult a doctor who can tell you about things like proper nutrition, exercise, hydration, sleep hygiene, vitamins, healthy non-destructive dieting advice, medication if needed, psychological therapy if needed. And this advice is all patient specific, it varies case by case, what works for one, does not work for everyone.
 
Pick 1000 random psts n the forum and an exceptionally large percentage of them will be from OP's suggesting/recommending a whole cockatail of drugs for a whole host of problems, many of which are not simple. many of which are pertaining to mental health, body image and disorders of many kinds. None of us are healthcare professionals just like minded people throwing ideas out there for consideration. Withdrawing from drugs can be potentially life threatening and certainly should be done under medical supervision. ALL drugs and methods used should be patient specific and backed up by a full medical history but check the threads. Most of the suggestions are from other OP's passing on their exp. This is completely the same. If you are now saying that noone should reply to threads unless they can write a thesis on the pros and cons, outline positives and negatives, suggest all the options (safe and unsafe) and then back them up with a disclaimer stating that none of us are qualified healthcare proffessionals and they shuld consult a doctor , then you totally negate the whole purpose of the forum. To properly manage ANY health problem (addictin/withdrawal/depression/ etc etc) ideally a doctr shuld be consulted but not everyone can/wants to do that. Sorry but I dont see hw sharing my exp of manging weight loss with amps is in anyway different t anther OP's suggestin of managing withdrawals and suggesting drugs/doses to avoid seizures. Its all mediacl in some way r another. I have a lot of useful advice but I am in no way qualified to provide ALL the alternatives and ALL the possible outcomes, so maybe I shuldnt offer any help to anyone? Should I deny them access to some useful (but nt medically qualified) informatin that could potentially help them or at least help them make an informed choice and instead point them in the direction of their GP? Yup I can see they would appreciate that. With all due respect yu yurself are not a healthcare proffessional and therefore are in no way qualified to diagnose the nature of someones problem or decide the complexity of it. One size does not fit all.

first off ill recognize that it isnt a good idea,

but i have been doin a little of this myself recently. im prescribed adderall for my add but hardly ever used to take it

for me, once ive taken it for a little while it doesnt make me eat an extreme amount once it wears off, ive noticed that all the not eating seems to shrink my stomach so even when i do eat i eat much less then normal. the one thing for me that it diminishes that comes back with a vengence is sleep. if i take it a few days in a row then the day i dont take it i sleep like crazy n have little motivation the next day upon waking up

=================== as i said previously, in MY humble expierience amps worked well for me but that isnt t say its right for everyone. I can only speak for myself. As the MOD said : None of us are qualified Healthcare Proffessionals and we shuld not be condoning the use of ilegal drugs to fix our problems. We are however qualified t point you in the direction of your doctor or shrink.
 
yea n i mean he had decent point that its not beneficial to just have posts of people who do this n it works n only shows it in a positive light

but i agree with you that we're just sharing our experiences, nothing wrong with that

for me the Amp regemine does wonders for weight loss n productivity but it takes its toll on me physically n psychologically (lack of sleep. using benzos n alcohol in order to sleep, amotivation without amps etc) its def not good long term but i do think its a decent jump start for weightloss
 
amberskye, you're taking this personally and in the wrong way. There's nothing wrong with sharing your personal experience on the matter, so long as it doesn't encourage the OP to engage in otherwise risky behavior that only a minority of patients can handle. Like an old statistic I'm remembering now, cigarette smokers have like a 25-75% chance of getting lung cancer, I believe the figure is that only 1 in 4 smokers don't get cancer. So those 25% who didn't get cancer, when they share their experiences with smoking, often mislead others by giving them a false sense of security.

I know this is a rather extreme example, and I know that especially in the past, and again lately in the present (an issue we are currently working on addressing) people recommend using drugs inappropriately. There are situations where it's fine to share personal experiences with medications, but it's also important for others to realize that there are certain personal experiences that may have had a certain effect on you, but it is not at all guaranteed that this effect is universal, or that others will react in the same or even remotely similar way.

Everyone's body chemistry is unique, which is why it's important to consult professionals who can do things like do bloodwork and give you patient-specific lifestyle change advice, and of course, medication if it's necessary. However, self medicating using amphetamines for weightloss turned out to be a disaster for the people I knew who attempted it. Amphetamines themselves can induce a plethora of their own health conditions, and they put extra stress on your heart, just like with obesity, so unless you're open to tackling your weight from multiple angles and perspectives, like by exercising, dieting, possibly medicating as per the doctors recommendation, etc, you won't lose much weight, at least not in a healthy way. It can be dangerous to rely on amphetamines alone as monotherapy for weight loss.

It's very important to treat the underlying conditions that lead to the unwanted weight gain in the first place, to treat and prevent this in the future.

I totally agree with you 100%. I honestly have had no bad exp of using amp for weight loss so I cant comment on the negatives.
Do I use it? yes.
Do I recommend it fr anyone else? absolutely not - i dont want the responsibility of that on my shoulders if it goes tits-up.
Ask me abut smoking weed and I can write a whole page on the negatives and absolutely nthing on the psitives, because again, that is my experience.
I was just trying to share my exp of amps for weight loss and it happens to be a positive for me. What can I say? I dont think that to share my positive exp I should have to balance it with a whole bunch of negatives drawn 2nd hand. Thats way too long.Other people can post the negs if that is their exp.
peace.

Not eating is not an effective weight reduction plan. Appetite suppressants are only useful if you are ADDICTED TO EATING. Eat 5 small meals a day and talk to a nutritionist about what those meals should contain. Theres a website where you can ask professionals for advice, you ask a question and pay around 20 bucks for an answer, and they are qualified in that field. Taking adderall to make you lose weight will just turn you into a teeth grinding jittery fool. Only use adderall to write term papers and stay up all night. You wont be able to sleep, but youll have one hell of a paper when you finally make it to class. Just be sure to re-read it before you turn it in. Run-ons, man. Run-ons.

completely disagree. You dont have to have a food addiction to take amps for weight loss. When I want to loose a bit of chunk around the middle that I gained over xmas, or in the winter months when I sat around snacking all day, or when I have a function to attend that I want to wear a certain outfit for THEN I will pop speed fr a short period to dump the weight. Right now I want to drop me weight quickly because I want to fit back into my size 8 dress for a presentatin Im doing for the Down Syndrme Society. Once the function is over I will stop and continue with my usual eating pattern, which is average as anyne elses.
I def dont have a food addiction so to please dont put a tag on me thanks.
 
Pretty much like everyone else said it's a bad idea. I used to use adderal/meth like 2 or 3 times a week my junior year of high school. Not for the feeling, I hated it, but for the weight loss and productiveness. It will make you lose weight, but once you start eating regularly again it will all come back, and you really don't want to become obsessive over your weight, plus you're screwing over your metabolism in the end by eating and then not eating.
 
Just reminded me of that Requiem for dream movie, shows nicely how taking amphetamine for weight loss can end up (usually doesn't end like that but isn't impossible). There's this old woman who wants to lose weight to fit in her old dress so she visits her doctor who prescribes her amph.. Thinking it must be safe since its doctor prescribed she starts to love the mood improvement, doesnt eat at all and overtime pops several pills at once. Spends several weeks home alone eating nothing, not sleeping, going crazy and paranoid watching some stupid show in which she wanted to appear. Ends up in mental asylum looking like psycho homeless.

The thing is that in my personal experience, stims actually suppress my apetite only in doses which improve mood or outright euphoric and that is problem, when you like the overall feel it won't be easy to give up. If I take small dose only to get slight stimulation I can eat few hours after taking so it just delays the next meal, which is unhealthy. Finding balance between that would be hard for me as I feel like the euphoria is connected with decreased desire to eat.

Starting to smoke is probably worse idea. Compared to stims smoking isn't risky in terms of weeks or months, but longterm it's one of the most damaging thing out there ofc.
 
Motivation and Determination = Success and Adderall will only provide you with a more complicated life.. I recommend doing your research online at reputable bodybuilding websites on how to transform you body.. Amphetamine are not the answer, proper nutrition, sleep and exercise are.. Get your entire life in balance and you're a rockstar.
 
I've heard of someone banging an addarell 20mg how do you think the best way to do it would be.,and what would the effects feel like and for how long if any??????
