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.

This happens to me sometimes. But I attribute it to stress eating. The side effect of taking adderall was doing this less. I was doing this all the time because I was diagnosed. Now it’s less common for me but you’re not alone. I have the extended release version.

The extended release version gave me more of the side effects and less of the benefits, unfortunately

I think it's the same dopamine-seeking behavior that's exasperated by my poor health habits, and those have admittedly been really bad of late.
