[quote=Anonymous][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]

No one in this thread suggested taking meds off-label.  The PP's who said they use or want to use adderall all said they have ADHD.  Sorry you seem to think your special snowflake DC is the only person in the world who actually needs amphetamines and everyone else who might use them is taking "street drugs", but that's not how it works [/quote]
