So I started taking aderall about a month ago

Which has been great! But my Dr said it might make my appetite be weird. And I am super hungry during the day but can't stomach food at night. Has this happened to anyone else? I eat breakfast and lunch just fine but I come home and make dinner for my wife and I just don't want it. It's very odd to me.

It is basically speed so that part of it acts as an appetite suppressant.

and discuss this and see if you should make adjustments and if the benefits outweigh the deficits.
