Hi Deb. I don't know about adult ADD, but I have heard that if adults take it that don't need to, it can have adverse affects. I'm not saying you don't need it, but keep that in mind. It could do just the opposite of what it's intended for. On the other hand....my son is 12 and has ADHD. He's been on meds since he was 6. When he started on Adderall he lost his appetite too. His lunches came home uneaten, he lost 10lbs in a month! I told his teacher to keep me updated on his overall behavior in school....I found out after a month or so that he was a total zombie in class. The teacher never said a word to me!! So we switched his meds immediately and he's been on Concerta for 6 years. He is growing normally and wants to eat more like a growing boy should! I will be curious to see what your doctor says!

Wow, Phyllis, that sounds like so much fun! Wish I could join you! ha Right! keep us posted, on that, and take pics!

Wow! I had to look, to make sure you were the same Wendy, I was thinking of! You look wonderful, hon! Great job!

Deb, I know nothing about ADD, but kudos to your son! Are you saying you want to try Ritalin? I'd say see your doctor, and be tested for ADD, and go from there. You never know, it may be a big help to you! Keep us posted, hon!

I would give it a try. If it doesn't agree with you or if it doesn't work you can just stop. I may be ADD but I am a daydreamer, so I am always preoccupied with my own inner world and the rest of the world be damnned!!! I am a calm person, but when my mind races out of control with things I do not want to do or think about, I want to eat. Good luck
