Not very: Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine) does cause loss of appetite in many people and has been used for decades as a weight-loss medication. However, as soon as it wears off, appetite comes roaring back; and, over time, one needs higher and higher doses to achieve the same effect, which can result in other side effects.

Not good: Dexedrine is an amphetamine. It is primarily used for ahdh along with Ritalin (methylphenidate) and benzedrine which are also amphetamines. All amphetamines increase your heartrate and blood pressure and decrease your appetite.
