Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Hey guys, I was diagnosed with ADHD that I did not treat all my life, so as of today I started taking Adderall XR. Since it's an Amphetamine drug, it is quite a strong stimulant. My question has to do with my eating while using Adderall. Since I am now on the drug everyday, how will this affect my metabolism? What would you feel is an appropriate step to keep being able to gain or maintain size, up calories? and if so - by how much do you think adderall burns extra.
Just started taking Adderall... question

how old are you by any chance? do u really think u need adderrall? do u really think u have adhd? docs will prescribe anything to make money and hit quotas. ADD had only really become a disease since 1980...u probably dont really need it. i didnt really need ambien and lunesta for sleep but i took it and i had to drop out.
ah nah bro like, I've been unable to concentrate in class since third grade, its gotten worse and worse over the years - My parents always figured I was just lazy until I finally had a breakdown and left high school for Night-High School. My parents are great folk dont get me wrong, but they just ignored all the obvious signs because of theyre lack of knowledge of the different types of ADHD.
I was severely depressed and frustrated as my concentration issues progressed, I kept spacing out during conversations, couldnt read a sentence without re-reading it twice since my mind kept wandering off to Music or Bodybuilding.
So I decided I wanted to seek help, the Head of the Yale Physciatric hospital (big shot), diagnosed me, and I went to a special Adult ADD doctor who re-diagnosed and prescribed claiming me as an "Obvious case".
So yeah, Im gonna take the adderall because for once I am finally locked in and able to do everything I love. (Even 5 years ago or so I was able to but it got progressively worse in my teens).
I'm 18 BTW, and yeah I posted this also on an ADHD forums for anyone who asked.
but anyway, thanks for the tips but I already eat insanely clean and I used all those for extra cals when Im bulking, but now I am in a temporary maintaining phase, just until I get everything organized, and I just want to know if it raises metabolism by a significant amount, so I don't burn away muscle - or if I eat too much thinking that it is burning more when its not.

Well I've been forcing myself to eat my normal 6 meals and 2 snacks a day, so Im getting my calorie intake.. I'm well aware that it is Amphetamines but it really works for me and is making me feel like a person again.
Still wondering how much it may raise metabolism... did it make you skinny cuz you didnt eat or because of it raising your meta.
