Since I've been taking Adderall XR, which is October 2006, I lost some weight. Before being on the medication I used to weight about 105 lbs and now I'm 90 lbs. I'm not really tall, 5'2", but still I think for my height I should be over 100 lbs.

I'm trying to change my diet since being on Adderall but it's difficult to do since a lot of what you eat can intefere with the medication. I know drinking a lot of water helps and eating food with vitamin C reduce the effect of the pill but other then that I'm clueless.

Another thing I notice is when I don't eat breakfeast in the morning Adderall works much better and faster. It kind of scares me in a way because I want to have the full benefit of the pill so I don't eat but cause of that I'm losing weight.

If anyone could tell me what should I eat that will make Adderall work better or not interfere with it I'll appreciate it.

Energy drinks, I take dexedrine which is worse on the appetite and I have to live on them because it can be hard to eat for weeks at a time it seems. I am a rather slender one myself... like a male version of Nicole Richie at times. I can't offer anything that helps me more than those.

Thanks Mspen for your reply. I did start today to eat some supplement bars and I found some without any vitamin C in it. I'll probably try thoses supplement drinks also. Hopefully with the supplement bars and drinks I'll gain some weight.

Yeah...a lot of those damn supplement food/bars/shakes have a lot of vitamin c in it. I actually dont notice much of an appetite supression in Adderall for myself. Im very thin as it is, and luckly I still eat plenty.

MSPEN-- how much do you weigh? Im a guy, 5'9" and only 115-120lbs. People are always telling me im too skinny, but when they see me eat twice as much as them, they stop thinking I have a disorder...its pretty annoying when people wrongly assume something like that.
