[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are going to yell at me for this, and maybe they should, but a low dose of adderal changed my relationship with food completely and I’m now slim without any effort.

I have legitimate ADHD but any dose high enough to actually control my symptoms messes up my sleep.  In trying to find the right dose I discovered that 5 mg a day has almost no effect on anything else, except it gives me a tiny little edge of self control over my eating habits.  It turns out that’s all I needed.

For the first time in my life I now eat when I’m hungry and stop when I’m full and don’t eat between meals.  I used to think about food constantly and now I just don’t.  It’s been truly life changing.[/quote]

This is intriguing.  I've never bothered to get diagnosed but I'm fairly certain I have ADHD.

Are you scared that you would gain the weight back if you ever went off the meds?[/quote]

I wish I could talk my doc into prescribing this for me.[/quote]

They're drugs - Amphetamine. [/quote]

Are you seriously considering becoming a drug addict? If you don't have self-control around food, what do you think it will happen when you end up taking addictive meds? Just go straight to meth. [/quote]

Why are you even in this thread?  Do you say this same thing to people taking medication for anxiety? [/quote]

Because people are shaming a PP for having surgery but seeing no problem using controlled medication, which is very similar to street drugs and very addictive, for vanity reasons. This is why it's such a PITA to get my DC1's ADHD medication refilled.[/quote]
