Will taking just 20mg of adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) make you lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe in short term: Stimulants decrease appetite, which can cause weight loss. However, that effect typically wears off over time, which is why they are not effect weight-loss medications. Usually, to maintain the appetite suppression over time, the dose has to keep going up, which then causes other problems.
