I am always surprised when I am reminded of people who use amphetamine meds off-label for weight loss, because even though I don't have an appetite while I'm taking them, there's always a few hours before bed after they wear off when I can't stop myself from eating everything in the pantry.

I had to go into a partial psych care program because I literally was only eating like 1 meal a day, I was very underweight, and it was making the depression really bad because my body had nothing to work with. Even when the ADHD med wore off I had so little energy that I didn't want to find food before bed. The psychiatrist ended up switching me from Vyvanse back to Adderall, and then a month later lowering my dosage of Adderall from 30mg to 20mg. I definitely feel like my ADHD is harder to manage, but it seems to be the happiest medium I've found for the moment.
