too skinny! | ADHD Information

[QUOTE=pastmember/Bren]Eat before meds. Add protein Mixes in with icecream might help. Wife is skinny so what. Better skinny than Fat. Eat more starches also would add weight. [/QUOTE]

Brent,

People can get dangerously low in weight...so low they can die!  Too skinny is not a good thing! 

Have you tried Ritalin? I've not lost any weight in 8 years. The generic form @ Sam's Club costs me .00/ month, vs. the RitalinLA that sells for 7.00/mo, and my co-pay is .00. Hey chJonesy!

Thanks! I'll cuddle you any day!

But I can't delete my other thread now.

I like this, though: AM I BEAR, That I Should ROAR!?
fat is nice. what is wrong with fat. i like fat people - they are cuddly. fat
is good. i don't know what the world has got against fat.

i mean you don't want to be unhealthy or anything but a bit of flesh just
softens people in the nicest way, i reckon.Too bad we can't share...

I should start a thread how to lose weight.
Where do you live?  If in New york state look into Communtiy health plus, I do have the number at work and I live in the Buffalo area let me know.  I am a case manager why I got the  info.  With Community health plus it is either free depending on income or a small monthly charge and it covers all and you get a choice of plans.  Good Luck JillEat before meds.

Eat more starches also would add weight. hello i have posted before (http://www.adhdnews.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11924& ;KW=annafoxx)

i am perscribed to amphetamine salts. well, for now. my health insurance has run out. and despite being a generic medication it still costs per month. so i am forced to stop taking it which is extremely difficult (it feels like i'm in high school all over again suffering from adhd in college). but perhaps i should have stopped long ago. i eat and eat, took the advice, spread meals throughout the day, and it doesn't help. people still worry about my weight, say i look like a skeleton. this is not good. if i do get health insurance back i was wondering any alternatives i can ask my doctor about that have a strong focus effect but won't rob me completely of body fat. thank you.
To much weight leads to diabetes and other health issues.  To loose weight eat less refine products!To have less gas,

use less refinery products.
Annafox, When I first started on Adderall I lost so much weight(which I didn't need to lose any...I'm 5'7' and my pre-adderall weight was 120), that people were asking if I was anorexic.  It got so bad, that my mother wanted to hospitalize me.  I now weigh about 118, but in the beginning I got down to 103.  It scared me so much!  Most people say that their appetite returns after being on the meds for a few weeks, but mine has not.  I literally have to force myself to eat and hate every minute of it.  What I have found that helps me a lot is protein shakes.  Sometimes, if I can drink something instead of actually eating, I can do it.  I buy Myoplex shakes and they have great nutrients and lots of protein and vitamins.  And they taste pretty good, too.  I know everyone thinks how wonderful skinny is...and it is to a certain point.  Anorexic looking is not pretty!  Good luck sista!
