Adderall reducing apetite | ADHD Information

Since your appetite is supressed when the Adderall is in your system my sons doctor recommended eating a rather substantial breakfast befoe it kicks in.  Then supplementing your diet with a good bedtime snack once the dose has worn off and your appetite is back.  I have seen on some of the other boards here that others use the nutritional supplement shakes such as ensure to add calories and nutrition to their diets.  Good luck to you.I found my sweettooth was a lot keener on stimulants.  I always have had a thing for big gooey pastries dripping with sugar.  I guess they have more fat than I should eat, but they sure are good!

I've found that adding or subtracting the slice of cheese from my sandwiches makes a noticible differrence.  I wouldent eat eggs. I eat eggs when I want to lose weight. Eggs are very high in proteen and will stay in your system all day making you not hungry.  I would eat thing high in carbs like rice or potatos. Those foods are high in calories and will go through your system quick so you will be hungry again in a few hours if you want to keep your weight up.
I'm 18 and my doctor just put me on 10mg of Adderall XR for my ADD about a month ago. I went back to the doctor after 3 weeks and I lost 2.2 pounds. That doesn't seem like a lot of weigh but I'm already really small and under weight for my age and it concerns me. My mom keeps telling me it's fine and I'll gain weight as I get older, but it still really bugs me. BTW I'm 5'5" and weigh about 115.

The Doctor told me that my diet sucks and I need to eat some more nutritious foods and take vitamins, he recommended drinking milk and eat eggs because they're very nutritionaly loaded.

Anyways, when I take adderall I have a smaller apetite. I'll eat something small then not feel hungry, then about an hour later i'll feel really hungry again.

Do you guys have any ideas how I should modify my diet for adderall ? Thanks.

Okay i have been on addrall for 2 years and lost 75-100 lbs. I now am tring to gain weight for the first time in my life. I have a great doctor who is so wonderfull. He sugested Nouriche by yoplait. they have some stuff that you need and even if you are not hungry you can get one down. Also keep stuff like jurkey on hand. Think quick and protein. Also most of the time that you body is wanting suger it is because it is preparing for the starve mode. also sucky candy are good for that. Like life savers and stuff. Keep stuff in your car or purse were ever so when you are hungry you can eat. You need to remeber it is not always your meds it could because you forgot to eat. Also make sure you are drinkig

Also make sure you doctor know what vitamins you take. Some have things that will make your meds not work correctly or could make you very sick. If you are on addrall i have a list if you want it.

I am on Adderall XR 20 mg and I am starving to death all of the time.I'm on Adderal XR 10 and do not have an appetite either.  I do the big breakfast thing too, and then just force myself to eat during the day, since I also have hypoglycemia and it masks my usual symptoms I feel when my sugar gets low. This is dangerous for me as I could easily faint.

I make a big pot of chicken soup every week and keep that on hand. That way, I'm eating, but it doesn't FEEL like a big 'ole meal.
LOL, Dixiepeep me too. I am actually on 20mgXR 2x per day and am still hungry. I really could not believit!!!The 40 mg in a day is helping taper off a little though...
