Hello my fellow ADHD niggas This is a guide on how you YES YOU can use your Adderall to suppress your appeitie
cool colors so your adhd brain can focus better
What Is Adderall?
Adderall is a prescription Stimulant Used to treat ADHD that contains amphetamine and dextroamphetamine.
Adderall works by increasing the activity of dopamine and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters that are involved in attention, motivation, and impulse control.

Why does Adderall suppress appetite?
The reason Adderall and Stimulants in general suppress appetite is because Stimulants alter brain reward pathways, inhibiting the hypothalamic hunger signals, activating the sympathetic nervous system, and slowing digestion. Which makes you feel less hungry and less motivated to eat.

Dosing off my personal experience
But this is just my experience everyone reacts differently from medication like this I would recommend starting with 10mg and dosing up until you find the right dose for you.
How to get it prescribed
Basically tell your doctor you think you have ADHD but never bothered to get it prescribed
And then he/she will probably set you up so they can see if you actually have it
But what will they ask me what do i say??!!!!
(From chatgpt) What a doctor might ask you
In my opinion these are pretty obvious questions to answer
what I recommend you do is put yourself in the mind of a bored 6 year old
Do you often have trouble sustaining attention in tasks or play?
YES.
Do you often have difficulty organizing tasks or activities?
YES.
Do you avoid or dislike tasks that require sustained mental effort?
YES.
Do you often lose things necessary for tasks (keys, phone, homework)?
YES.
Are you easily distracted by external stimuli or unrelated thoughts?
YES.
For the hyperactivity
you fidget and are impulsive and your restless.
Pretty easy questions to answer I know
Most important (MUST READ)
You don't just want ANY Adderall You want Extended Release over Immediate Release
Adderall XR Vs Adderall IR
If your goal is appetite suppression (probably is if your reading this thread)
You would want XR over IR
Why?
Because Immediate release lasts 4-6 hours meaning your appetite will be suppressed until midday-end of the day
and then when you crash you binge eat a ton of calories and your appetite is very high.
Where as Extended release your appetite is suppressed all day until you go to sleep then it wears off while sleeping so you don't get the bad crash effects of Immediate release.
Its pretty easy to get XR over IR just tell your doctor you don't need it just for school and you need that gradual Release throughout the day.
Conclusion
Adderall is a amazing prescription medication for ADHD that is great at reducing appetite that occurs due to changes in brain reward pathways, hunger signals, and digestion.

Central dopamine action modulates neuropeptide-controlled appetite via the hypothalamic PI3K/NF-κB-dependent mechanism - PubMed
Hypothalamic neuropeptides, including neuropeptide Y (NPY) and proopiomelanocortin (POMC), have been found to control the appetite-suppressing effect of amphetamine (AMPH). In this study, we have examined whether dopamine receptor (DAR), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and nuclear...
Amphetamine, an appetite suppressant, decreases neuropeptide Y immunoreactivity in rat hypothalamic paraventriculum - PubMed
Amphetamine (AMPH) is a well-known anorectic agent. The mechanism underlying the anorectic response of AMPH has been attributed to its inhibitory effect on hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY), an orexigenic peptide in the brain. However, there is still lack of genomic or in situ...
Participation of ghrelin signalling in the reciprocal regulation of hypothalamic NPY/POMC-mediated appetite control in amphetamine-treated rats - PubMed
Hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY) and proopiomelanocortin (POMC) have been documented to participate in amphetamine (AMPH)-induced appetite suppression. This study investigated whether ghrelin signalling is associated with changes in NPY/POMC-mediated appetite control. Rats were given AMPH daily...
The roles of dopamine receptor and adrenoreceptor on the inhibition of gastric emptying and intestinal transit by amphetamine in male rats - PubMed
Amphetamine, a central nervous stimulant, acts on the central nervous system (CNS) by increasing levels of norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine (DA) in the brain. It stimulates the colonic motility and gastrointestinal (GI) function via the brain-gut connections as well as diminishes appetite...
Catecholaminergic mechanisms of the lateral hypothalamus: their role in the mediation of amphetamine anorexia - PubMed
The brain mechanisms mediating amphetamine's suppressive effect on feeding behavior were analyzed in rats with chronically implanted brain cannulas. Experiments in which drugs were injected directly into the anterolateral hypothalamus, the region found to be most responsive to amphetamine's...
Amphetamine: effects on meal patterns and macronutrient selection - PubMed
Catecholaminergic systems, specifically in the region of the lateral perifornical hypothalamus (PFH), have been linked to the inhibition of feeding behavior. The present studies examined the effects of d-amphetamine (AMPH), which is believed to act through the release of endogenous...
Dosing off my personal experience
(5-10MG Low appetite suppression Just ate a lil bit less lol)
(15-20mg Mild appetite suppression you don't wanna eat a bunch of shit for no reason)
(20-30mg (my dose) From my experience I have done both retatrutide and Adderall and from my experience 20 30mg Adderall Suppresses my appetite as much as 2-3mg retatrutide did)
But this is just my experience everyone reacts differently from medication like this I would recommend starting with 10mg and dosing up until you find the right dose for you.
