dolssa Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Pretty sure adderall caused me to develop an eating disorder. The reason for my relapse in the past have been mainly weight gain. Now I'm almost at the three month mark and once again I am about to relapse due to my weight. I was doing fine, but I saw a picture of myself and now I am in a downward spiral thinking about how I am going to get my hands on a new script. pretty sure wanting adderall so i can starve myself easily is defiantly an eating disorder. masked as just adderall addiction. I made it to the three month mark being super super careful about what I put in my mouth yet I havent been able to get over some weight gain. I know it can get better with exercise but it won't ever be adderall skinny again which i've grown attached too. I make my money though instagram but i havent posted since my three month recovery started. my self confidence is at an all time low. I am only going to be ready for full recovery when I am ready to give up the life i built on adderal and I am not ready to give that up yet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dolssa Posted February 5, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 UPDATE: seeing that picture of myself made me get into a negative thinking space, and the addict in me typed this post. I am back in a calm state of mind no longer seeking a script. sticking to recovery through the good days and bad. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidflash83 Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Don’t have any advice just wanted to say I’m going through a similar thing. Gaining weight was the reason I relapsed the last time I tried quitting adderall so this time around I’ve been careful about making sure I’m Exercising and eating correctly but at almost 2 months in my motivation for that is dwindling. if anyone else has any advice I’d love to hear it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m34 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 I have/ had same issue. I exercised and ate well even through the depression phases. I held onto about 5-7 lbs that I couldn’t lose for anything between months 2-8. That is a lot for me because I’m short. Around 8-10 months clean the weight just fell off. Hang in there because you won’t hold onto the weight forever. It’s still a battle of cravings for me... without those little helpers! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This comment is really giving me hope that I'll lose some of what I've gained. I've been really careful, but naturally have been eating a TON more and moving less. Adderall and the weight loss that came with it made me extremely obsessive with working out intensely every day and eating as little as possible. Do you recall gaining a lot of weight predominately in your stomach area? I feel so gross and wide there :/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of resisting/fearing it embrace it, treat it like a bulk and lift heavy. Use that extra food to fuel muscle building and as your appetite normalizes and you go back to eating a normal amount you will naturally shred! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelaneyJuliette Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 This same thing happened to me and then I got better from the eating disorder with 5 years of recovery off adderall. Now I'm back on adderall and i feel awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
