During high school, I was a really good weight, around 135. I ended up rapidly gaining weight after graduating and was 238 at my heaviest. This was due to a number of factors, including depression and emotional eating. I tried to lose weight, but the compulsion to stress eat was always really bad for me. I was put on Adderall a year ago and almost immediately started losing weight. For the first time, I wasn’t constantly depressed and stopped stress eating. Even when I take breaks from my meds I still don’t eat at the rate I used to. I lost like 20 pounds and thought that I would plateau. Now I’m down to 141 pounds and it’s just blown my mind that I could make a change like that. Now when I feel depressed, I don’t feel like eating at all instead of wanting to constantly eat. I read that it’s really uncommon for someone to lose this much weight on Adderall and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced the dramatic change I did. I’m 28F if that makes a difference. submitted by /u/PiroLargo [link] [comments]
