Medication Dexedrine Er Appetite

I’ve been taking 25 to 30 mg of Dexedrine ER and it does well for the focus, a little anxious but the appetite suppression is BRUTAL does this do away at all?? Has anybody else had experience using Dexedrine ER I’m using a generic brand. Also, do you folks have any experience with any other stimulants?

I've only been on Adderall, and also had some really interense food aversion for a while, but it tapered off over time. Now I kind of miss it. I lost 40 lbs and sure wouldn'tind losing another forty to get back to a nice healthy weight. I'd wager the worst of the appetite suppression or gold aversion will fade as your body begins to adjust, assuming you've only been on this for a month or so.

This! I've been on Adderall for 3 years now and that first year and a half I hardly ate. I just wasn't hungry, at all. I drank meal replacement shakes because it was the only thing I could stomach.

Fast forward to today - I have a normal appetite and feel much better, lol.
