Seriously! As someone who does take Adderall because I have a prescription for it, yes, it does make you lose weight. But it's a really terrible kind of sickly feeling, like your legs are going to get out from under you and your heart is going to explode it's beating so fast. It also makes you super focused, as it is intended, but if you have nothing to focus on you are in for a seriously bad time. I once ripped hair out of my head for 6 straight hours. Oh, and it makes you unable to sleep. College was so fun.
