hey!! and help!! | ADHD Information

Eat after it wears off. I usually eat something small or nothing all day long but at night when meds where off I can eat a normal meal. Also the longer you are on it the less the meds effect your appetite. When I first started I could only eat the one meal at night. Now I can have a small to normal lunch and also dinner.

The best advice is eat something really small for breakfast and lunch even when not hungry. I would eat a granola bar and it worked great. I notice if I skip eating all day I am very irratable but if I force myself to eat a granola bar or piece of fruit at lunch I'm not cranky at all. The irritability was my body telling me I was hungry even though my stomach was telling me I was full.

hey everyone im new to adderall and im new to this board, but i
really need help here, lately i have been taking 20mg adderall
on a daily basis and i have noticed that i dont eat as much as i
do, and i was just wondering if anyone here had any tips or
some advice to avoid this loss of appetite.

Thanx in advance welcome to the board!  About the appetite....are you on xr or regular?? Well, either way, you could try eating a good, hearty meal before you take meds and again once they wear off....also try scheduling meal-times and stick to the schedule (even if you're not hungry) of course, if you are hungry at times not scheduled, feel free to eat....some people find that "training" themselves to eat while on meds eventually makes it so they just eat naturally instead of following the schedule. Hope things go well! currently im on xr
