But I do also have weight to lose(which I gained from binge eating) so he thought maybe that would be a good choice to maybe address both issues at once with Adderall. Now had I gone in there and said I want you to put me on Adderall so I can lose this weight, he'd have said I don't think so. And I have been seeing this P-Doc who BTW, specializes in Eating Disorders for a couple years now and I can tell you that we have tried many different things and trying Adderall is not his number one choice of therapy.

I was still under the impression that for regular weightloss, ONLY, without comorbid ADD/depression in the average patient, that Amps were a nono.
