i am really curious about this! i swear that since adderall xr i am more hungry now on it then i was off it!!!
i have not gained anymore weight though and am at the same weight but i want more sweets and more carbs and it is really frustrating to me to want these things all the time whereas before i did so in moderation but not it is a daily strggle, grrrrrr.
I get very hungry when adderall starts to wear off. Ritalin doesnt seem to affect me like that though.
Yes, don't let anyone fool you. In most people, Adderal probably reduces appetite. But, I have noticed the same thing you have---that I get hungrier when I take it, and to make matters worse, I end up with an "I don't care" attitude about whatever I find to eat. Another thing I noticed is that Adderal can also make me tired, which of course, the doctors will tell me is impossible. Although Adderal primarily affects the neurotransmiters norepinephrine and dopamine, it has a small affect on serotonin. My theory is that it stimulates the serotonin receptors and makes us hungrier---just like many of the antidepressants do.i have heard the same thing and my son does crave more carbs
