I just started taking Adderall 2 days ago for A.D.D.
I was just wondering how long you have to be taking it to lose weight.
I am 5′2 and 142 lbs I am not looking to lose much just about..20 lbs or so.
Please answer only if you have been on it before.
So the question is How long do you have to be on Adderall to start losing weight?

I am a 27 year old male and have lost 20 lbs. in the past 2 months alone. You will lose weight as long as you’re not eating anything while you’re on Adderall. How fast you lose the weight I guess depends on how fast you’re body sheds pounds. I can assure you though that you will notice a change in your weight within a week or so, so long as you are not eating anything from 8AM – 10PM and forcing yourself to have a light snack before you go to sleep. I suggest that you drink a Vitamin shake in the morning though in order to make sure that your body is getting the proper nutrients, as you don’t want to get sick or unhealthy from not eating anything all day.
