Stimulants are great for weight loss, I have heard of adderall and dexadrine both being prescribed for weight loss. But for most people on this board they seem to be prescribed for ADD/ADHD - the decreased appetite is just a nice side-effect for me.

However, my pdoc said that they are not good for anxiety, if anything they will increase your anxiety level. I have to have a script for xanax to go with my 'stimulant of the month'. They are also controlled substances and you will have to visit with your pdoc monthly to keep up with it.
