What drug(s) have caused you alarming changes in your weight

Not to be a hater or anything, but amphetamines have the ability to make people think they are better looking than they really are. I have met a few methheads who think they are the greatest looking thing on this green Earth.Complete with lithium pick marks and all.

Yeah but putting aside my adderall induced mania, what if losing those extra pounds really pushed me into really good looking dude territory. Maybe I'm only like, the third most beautifull dude in thee world. But the drugs tell me I am number one. so I am. How did I get so hot? I wish you could see my ass brainicthemaniac. Its fucking toit! Yessssss!
You do have the honor of being the first hater on my beautifullness.

The difference is that they're getting high, and he isn't.
 
^Duly noted...and taken...I agree with you, on the other hand...someone taking Adderall® is still capable of feeling the deceptive euphoric feelings that amps can give...
 
Can we keep talking about how good looking I am?
Anybody mind?

Tru dat Braniacthewac, a sufficient amount of adderall insulfated, or drank in a warm peppermint tea that makes your Ph all basic, could rock you into mania, if one was predisposed to mania. But you guys are right, my daily doses don't do much more than put me up for a couple of hours, then bring my fucking toit ass back down.
I just like to pretend I'm a tweaker. You know, to shake up the monotony. Makes me feel special. Sexy. Good looking guy that-I-am. 10/10. For sure. The ladies you ask? They can't resist. Gotta fight 'em off. "No baby", I always say, "Go home to your husband tonight. I'll be your daddy tomorrow." Thanks to the addy.
 
meth and opiates. Lost about 15lbs on meth and about 25lbs on opiates. Unfortunately now I'm a fat ass. lol. Drugs don't affect my weight too much anymore (at least opiates that is) I no longer touch meth, but it would probably make me lose weight.

Over the past 2 years I've gained about 20lbs while on bupe, but I don't think that's the sole fault of the bupe.
 
One of my problems was that I wanted to take hydrocodone in the morning on an emptly stomach. Empty stomach is much better for getting quicker, stronger results. Then when the effects started I did not want to eat at all. I lost 10 pounds in a few months. This is major for me, I never lose or gain weight. When I got into harder opiates, it got worse, even though I was snorting instead of trying to make my stomach empty. Its just that I was always in high gear on the meds and never wanted to stop to eat. So, I lost another 10 pounds. Trying to put it back on now. I am 5' 10" and like to weigh about 185 or a bit more. Drinking a lot of ensure and boost these days.
 
cocaine, adderall, and hydromorphone definitely all decreased my appetite and made me lose weight. weed made my weight fluctuate

i lost a good amount of weight while going through my opiate habit

Same here...I lose weight on just about anything from alcohol to any type of stimulants. However, you wouldn't think a hydro habit would cause that much of a weight loss. I would say I have more of a muscular build however, and used to be very skinny. So I'd say the high metabolism has a lot to do with any drug intake results.
 
I lost a bunch of weight on crack and e helped keep my weight down since I wouldn't eat on the weekends.
 
i love u for u

I agree... i went from 155 to 120 in almost a month.. and i LOVED it b/c i could actually wear a 2 peice bathing suit and feel sexii in it.. and i could see my hipbones as well.. and im only like 5'4
baby girl come on now i think u look sexy no mater wat.....mater a fact i think ur hotter not doin coke now.....i love everything about u please don't do this to yourself ever again........ur my rock any way if u don't stay clean....wats that mean for me:(
 
Heroin definitely drops the pounds. When I am on one of my binges, I loose weight, and it is a vicious cycle. I get high, then I don't eat because I don't need to... I feel full. Then, when I have money, I don't eat so I can spend the money to get high, and then I am fine with not eating. And the longer the binge goes, the more weight drops. And then when I quit, I can't eat for a while as for being sick... so... definitely Opiates, like OC's and H.
 
actually come to think about it, after i was down to 120 after getting off coke, i started taking methadone every day and i went from 120 to 196 in about 8 months. The seroquel probably didn't help either.
 
i've said this before but i was 190 at 6-8% bodyfat (track runner/bodybuilder) then in 3 months or so i had lost ~46lbs and nearly every ounce of muscle and aerobic conditioning i had worked so hard to obtain. It depresses me to no end to think that i was within a half second of the walk-on time for Purdue's Track Team (400m) and instead of training more/harder, i gave it all up for f'ing cocaine.
 
opiates. make me eat a lot while high then none when i'm not. and i end up losing a lot of weight when abusing opiates... i'm 6 feet tall and was 119lbs at the peak of my opiate abuse...

methadone making me fat.:(

Methadone does make you gain weight!
Agreed, sucks.
Fat, I was fat too.

I'm not fat anymore. I'm happily chibby! (okay, how do you say that so it sounds alright and that you are okay with it?!!!)

... though at one point, i weighed over 300lbs, i'm down to a nice 170lbs and I am happy at 150lbs, for my height (5'9"), 140 is perfect for me. I like being slim, NOT skinny!

Weight is not an issue really. i have days when it is and days when, who cares, it's my body. I like ME, I matter, not my tummy!
It's the other people that look at you and judge you by your weight that have the problem.
But, yes, methadone. 8)

amphetamines (adderalls).

adderalls 40 mg xr a day. 30lbs one month.

lowest point: 138lbs 6ft 1inches, male.

also low doses of opiates will make u gain weight while higher doses and stronger opiates will make u lose weight.
