I am sorry I know how stressful and depressing it feels to go through something like this. I am still struggling with completely quitting adderall. When I first started using it seriously I lost so much weight so quickly. At first it was great but then I started to get sick looking. I am also petite 5'2 and people don't understand how much weight up or down shows on a small frame. After using for a few years I would not feel like eating all day but would take an ambien to go to sleep and binge on food and then gained quickly. It really messes with your metabolism. Normally I should be about 120lbs during my time on adderall I have been as low as 89lbs and as high as 136lbs. Not to be too personal but I know part of not being able to drop the post adderall weight is for many people not being able to go to the bathroom with out a stimulant. Something to consider about adderall and weight. I have found that using L-Tyrosine when trying to quit really helpful. With the weight and also cravings and reducing some of the depression/lethargy . I have tried and researched numerous vitamins and supplements that are supposed to be helpful when quitting. I have it narrowed to a few that I feel really help. If you want any info on that just ask. There is a supplement post on the forum that I found very helpful. It took a bit of figuring out what my body needed to start losing the weight from quitting suddenly. I am not rail thin like at the peak of addy use but did lose the weight I gained after quitting and that helps how you feel vastly. I think your body is still readjusting and when it does it will much easier to get back to where you want to be. I must say I am impressed that after years of using and now going cold turkey that your able to handle it as well as you are. Just wanted to show you some support.
Thank you. Yes this has been difficult.. I am 26 years old and have been on it since the age of 15 with a break once or twice, but when right back on. I went through extremely bad withdrawals a month ago.. cried, freaked out, confused, extremely tired. Now I just want my body back. I am learning to train my brain to focus and not depend on it which is hard.. But yes, the bathroom part you mentioned is very true.. I also feel adderall caused me tension and IBS. So being that I dont have it now, my metabolism slowed down a lot. I used to wake up take it.. go to the bathroom within a half hour.. start my day. And did this as a routine for years. When I started in in highschool I was stayed at 118lbs for a while then as I got older and adjusted to the adderall my wieight would NOT BUDGE from 135ish.. now that ive stopped.. I cant believe how easy 40 pounds packed on.. I am going to get the vitamin you suggested today as well as some others. Maybe this will also give me motivation to go to the gym again. I used to be a fitness freak in the gym 6 days a week for years.. I think being on adderall for so long I just lost interest.. I am an attractive girl and I dont mean to sound vain but I take a lot of pride in how I look. And this is making me EXTREMELY depressed. Thank you for your support.. I hope these vitamins work and I can feel good again!!

Can someone please help.. I have been an adderall user forever.. prescribed it. I had to cut cold turkey due to health insurance reasons. It has been about 3 months and I have gained an easy 40lbs!!
I am really considering buying a months worth tomorrow from someone I know.. to just ween myself off eventually.. I was at a healthy weight before. I am 5'4 and was 130..since being off adderall I have gained almost 40lbs .. I am freaking out.
I have no motivation, I am almost lethargic without it. I dont even want to go outside or leave the house.
This is so horrible I don't want to depend on this drug.. But I am not happy, I am over weight now.. and very upset.

Thank you so much for responding.. I have always been a health freak actually.. I always have had a very clean diet.. I still do. On addy I defiantly didnt eat as much, and of course I was always speedy which is why I am sure I kept that weight off. I still do it clean.. and actually eating more smaller meals a day. Healthy ones. I am very cautious of nutrition and I never really eat junk food. You would think by the way I eat I would be a twig. I dont bing, I dont eat fatty. I dont even eat meat. I have a very clean diet. Protein, veggies and fruit. I think my body just went into some sort of shock getting off the adderall. and especially because I didnt ween off. So I think what my problem really is at this point, is lack of exercise. I also just moved from NY or Florida. and I am going through that change as well. I dont know many people, I feel a little isolated.. just have no motivation to go to the gym and burn this off. If you were to look at me.. you wouldnt say I looked fat. But I take a lot of pride in how I look and although I may carry 40 pounds well.. I dont like how I feel.. I have more time than ever now at this point in my life to make the gym a second home. And i just dont go.. I dont even want to interact with people.. I dont sit around an eat all day.. but I am not burning what I do eat. And im used to relying on the stupid adderall! I just feel all depressed and unmotivated and NOT LIKE MYSELF.. I still crave it.. and want it .. just to feel like that superwoman again. This is so hard.. I really appreciate your support!
