My psychiatrist is concern about my weight and this is a big issue for me, I need to gain some weight if I want to stay on adderall. I try to explain to my psy that I always was thin and almost all my family members are but still she seem very concern about this. I even lost 2 pounds this month but it's strange coz I ate a lot during that time, I don't understand my weight lost??? It was hard enough for me to get an increase dose of 5 mg with my daily dose of 15 mg. It took me more then 2 months to only get 5 mg and it was a pain to wait! If I don't gain at lest 2 pounds she may take me off adderall XR and I really need it coz without it I can't even function. I even want to ask her to add adderall IR 5 or 10 mg to my daily dose of 20 mg XR but if I don't put up some weight she sure won't do it!

That kinna anger me to see some peoples who even start adderall at 20 mg when I start at 5 mg the first week, 10 mg the second and 15 mg the third and was on 15 mg for 2 months and need to wait for so long to only have 20 mg. Even some kids were on 20 mg long before I did and even take more then I do and I'm an adult!!! I understand my psy is concern about my weight but I always was thin and being 94lbs is normal for me!

How many of you have a combination of both adderall XR and IR and how many mg of XR and IR you take? How long it took you to be able to add IR to your dose of XR? Would 10 mg of adderall IR be good solution to my daily dose of 20 mg XR? I was thinking of asking my psy for that combination but it seem hopeless for now, if I don't gain some weight I should forget that idea!!! Do anyone have the same issue about weight lost with their psychiatrist or doctor? If so how you deal with it? Hopefully some of you can share their experience and give me some advices on how to deal with this problem???
Take care!
