Hello. I just started on Adderall for ADHD. I take 15 IR in the morning and afternoon with an option of an additional 10 at night if I feel like I'll need it.

I'm 21, a female, and I weight about 100 pounds.

A. I keep losing weight. Is this normal, will it stop, and is it because the drug is affecting my metabolism (aka do i need to eat more?)

MORE IMPORATNT-
I'm terrified of tolderance. Any tips as to how to decrease the liklihood that I will build a tolderance quickly? Thanks!

Eat some philly cheesesteaks. Why? They will make sure you don't lose weight and they taste great.
Tolerance, look up drug holidays, but many people always find some therapeutic benefit even when tolerance is reached.

There are some supplements that MAY (not a lot of research) help with tolerance of amphetamines:

- l-theanine
- magnesium taurinate
- dextromethorphan (I wouldn't use this)

These are controversial I'd say and I can't say that they work. In my experience, they do a bit. I wouldn't use any unless you clear it with your doctor and research them more.

The best thing for tolerance is USING YOUR MEDICATION PROPERLY and ONLY WHEN YOU NEED IT. Also, good nutrition and general health helps! Hope this helps.

I read this info on another forum but don't know if we're allowed to link it. I will if someone can explain the rule about links. :) Wouldn't wanna break any rules.

GREAT IDEA!
