[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I both started stimulant medication for the first time in our early 50s. It took some time to find the right medication and dosage but we have no regrets. While it isn’t a panacea, I feel much more together/productive and not so overwhelmed all the time. As a bonus, I’ve lost quite a bit of weight over the past year, going from a size 10/12 to a 6/8, with no effort—just less appetite. That said, i’ve heard that long-term use could impact your metabolism such that you could end up heavier if/when you decide to stop taking it. There has also been some suggestion that long-term use of ADHD meds could increase the risk Parkinson’s disease, although on the flip side, it may decrease the risk of Alzheimer’s (for which, ADHD is already a risk factor).[/quote]
