I am in the process of getting formally diagnosed with ADHD. So far, about two psychiatrists have basically confirmed it, based on my list of symptoms and my history.
I know this is a question for another time, but I’m losing a ton of weight right now and getting myself to look better. If it comes to getting medicated for ADHD, will any of the meds affect fat loss? I really don’t have any problems putting on muscle, but I do have a problem losing fat (genetic issue).
@rgb_leds_are_love yeah mostly they suppress appetite, as far as I know, though I suppose they may increase basal metabolism a bit too. not sure, honestly, about the specifics.
Dextroamphetamine (Adderall) acts as an appetite suppressant. I believe the drug is also used to combat obesity.
In my experience it's very noticeable. There are days I forget to eat. But if I have food in front of me, I'll eat the same amount as I would without the meds. So I don't get hungry on a normal day, but I also don't feel like I'm overeating.
