Adderall is not (usually) prescribed for weight loss, it would be an off-label use as well. There are stimulant medications like adderall that are prescribed and work much better at appetite reduction than Adderall.
- gnicholas 4y agoYeah, I added the second sentence to clarify. I'm sure people don't go on it primarily to lose weight, but I could see how it would become a one-way ratchet if going off it causes weight gain.
- prepend 4y agoAdderall is prescribed for weight loss, according my my psychiatrist, but it’s not approved to treat weight loss. Although similar drugs like vyvanse are approved for binge eating disorder. I think adderall is prescribed when patients can’t afford vyvanse. Although vyvanse is going generic this year.
