What's the story with adderall and weight loss?

Does anybody know if it works or how it works?

I heard that it makes you lose weight at first and then if you take it for a long time, it just stops working. You don't necessarily gain weight, but you won't lose weight either. And as soon as you get off it you gain most of the weight back. I'm not really sure how or why that really is...

Most of the people I know that have used Adderall, used it for a few days and lost maybe a pound, but I don't know anyone that used it for a prolonged amount of time.

How do you get hold of it? I've looked it up but I can't find anywhere selling it...is it a prescription drug?

My Doc write me the script since I have symptoms of add and he said it was a weight negative drug. The trick, he told me is to only take it four times a week--that way it keeps working, your body dosen't stay dependent on it and you can stay on it your whole life. I've been reading about celebrities using it for weight loss so I was curious. I'm already on prozac which kills the appitite but I was wondering what adderall would do.

i bought like 6 adderall for 5 dollars a pill last summer ish from some kid. they were 20 mg xr which is the extended release. took one a day, in the morning. didn't eat once that week, didn't think about food at all..and had tons of energy. it did make my mouth real dry and i felt like a meth addict cuz that's basically what it is. never bought any after that week, but only cuz i couldn't get a hold of anymore..i would buy some if i could now though..
