I take 20mg and have also noticed loss of appetite however soon after taking Adderall I get extremely sleepy. It's brutal. Exercise and force yourself to eat 5 small portions in a day.

I started taking it about 2 weeks ago. I went from 170 to 163. I don't take it on the weekends and I find that my appetite is fine then. I just have to remember to eat healthy.

yes, the same happened to me awhile back...I was taking 30mg xr...how much and how frequently are you taking Adderall xr

I had the same issue, I was 135 at time I started and went down to 118. I stopped taking it as this was not healthy. this medicine does suppress your appetite. What can help is eating a large breakfast before eating and eating through the day small amounts of food or Ensure shakes.

I have been taking ADHD medication since i was in second grade, I have tried about all there is to try. All of high school I took vyvanse and it made me completely crazy and lose touch with my personality so when I got to college and my parents Were not there to make me take it I stopped. That was 4 years ago, in between then and now I would take it randomly to study or for a cleaning day, anything i needed to focus for I would use it. I am now on Adderall XR 15 mg and at first I hated it but I have been taking it every day for about a week now so my body has just started to get used to it, my appetite definitely has changed with all of the medication I have tried. It made me lose a significant amount of weight because it was hard to eat, almost nauseating to eat anything, but recently I discovered I was taking it at the wrong time, I usually would take it right in the morning when I woke up so basically I had adderall in my empty stomach all day churning around with stomach acid, definitely does not make you feel too good. Take it AFTER you eat breakfast in the morning. Make sure your breakfast has high protein and it will prevent you from that icky disgust of food and you will want to eat. Basically you have to have food in your stomach for the adderall to run off of and you will want to eat, still maybe not as much as you used to eat, but you will be able to maintain healthy weight loss, because if you continue like this the minute you stop taking that pill you will gain it back because you are not actually learning anything about dieting or portion control.

What state do you live in and/or who is your doctor? I'm in desperate need of a doctor that will prescribe me 140 my Adderal a day because I have done that in the past and it has truly helped me, but I unfortunately can't see the same doctor anymore who helped me...

OMG - I thought this was just me! I take Adderall XR, Lamactal and Celexa and I constantly have a dang song going in my head. I have to repeat to myself over and over again the word S T O P to get it to go away lol

I have also been on the adderall 40 xr mg. Also have lost weight 118 to 114 in a week, no desire to eat at all i make myself eat but can only do a couple bites. I suggest calling the dr

I recommend you to eat breakfast before you take your medicine. And try to eat every day at the same time. You could set and alarm to remind you to eat. Thats what I do! And it does work for me. I hope wok for you as well. Good luck!☺

This is what I experience with the drug. It does stop working on the weight loss. I gained back all the weight I lost and more! Now I'm more depressed. It still kills my appetite until night but I don't lose any weight. I've tried to get off of the medication because of the headaches it gives me but then I start piling on more weight. It is wonderful when you first start taking it and improved my state of mind. Now I have mixed feelings about it's worth. I wish it was like it used to be!
