I've been mostly off adderrall for a little less than 2 weeks. Prior to quitting adderrall I also quit taking Wellbutrin. I decided that side effects were not worth the limited benefits I was getting from these meds.
Anyway, the reason I'm posting is because I have gained a tremendous amount of weight in a short period of time (about 10lbs in 2 weeks). Has anyone else experienced this? It is very distressing . I've started trying to eat healthy, but I know the weight can't come off as quickly as it went on... This is tempting me to go back on the adderrall.

I was expecting weight gain, but this has been so fast! I think that some of it is water weight because I am carrying it my stomach area and I typically gain weight in my lower body. I'm wondering if retaining water after being on adderrall (a diuretic) for years is a common experience. If so, you all might have some tips to help me not have to buy a whole new wardrobe!
Thanks for your reply. It is really tough not leaning on adderrall to get me through the work day, but I am already starting to feel like myself again, and that is a welcome change!
