> Thanks for the information. Do you know if Adderall causes weight loss more so than dexedrine. My M.D. wants to talk about switching to the short acting Adderall. Any information is appreciated.
Hi,
I would pledge my bets on Adderall causing more weight loss, considering it was sold as a diet pill into the 1970s under the tradename (Obetrol)-get it?. This exact same pill (mixed L and D Amphetamine salts) when removed from the market, was reintroduced in 1996 and given the different name of Adderall to treat ADD-get it.
D Amphetamine is said to be ten x more nurologically active as l Amphetamine, its mirror image, which causes far more physical stimulation vs central.
Most people find Dex causes weight loss early in treatment which then ceases after several weeks.Is your MD treating you with Dex for weight issues?
