It can be very dangerous, and it's not acknowledged enough on the fat acceptance blogsphere. <br /><br />I take Ritalin for ADHD, and I can tell you that some jerk doctors asked me if I take Ritalin in order to lose weight. I weight 42-43 kilos for 1.52m, and I have no reason to take Ritalin in order to lose weight. Count that here, only a specialist in neurology, psychiatry or sleep medicine at hospital can prescribe you Ritalin. <br />Okay, stimulants are appetite suppressants, but they must not use as weight loss medicines because of its serious side effects (cardiac, can trigger psychotic symptoms to some people, can change the way liver works...). <br />Use Ritalin if you need it to treat a chronic condition like ADHD or narcolepsy, but not as a weight loss medicine. <br /><br />How many people are tempted to take medicines off label in order to lose weight ? <br />Giulianoreply@blogger.com
