Adderall fixed my BED… but now I’m off it
I was diagnosed with ADHD over 2 years ago and have experienced BED from the start of puberty. After my ADHD diagnosis, I began taking Adderall XR every day and I noticed immediately the effect it had on my eating habits. I ate when I was hungry, and stopped when I was full. My brain finally felt at peace.
Fast forward to 3 months ago, I no longer wanted to take a stimulant for my ADHD for some mood reasons and other things. My BED returned immediately and I have gained noticeable weight in these past few months. Has anyone experienced something similar? I don’t want to feel like this but I also don’t want to take stimulants for the rest of my life.
