ADHD Medication For Weight Loss

ADHD Medication For Weight Loss - Am I Anorexic?

In November of this year, I went to my doctor to talk to him about getting medication for ADHD, with the intention to lose weight. Does this this mean I am anorexic?

I'm a 21 year old college student who has always been concerned with my weight. It wasn't until my freshmen year in college that I first started using diet pills to lose weight.

I took them on and off for about a year, and then starting taking laxatives. I used laxatives daily for about 4-6 months.

At my doctor's visit in November, he did prescribe some medicine which has helped me tons in school, and I've lost weight since I've been on it.

I starve myself daily, but I don't know if its because I'm "anorexic" or if this is just a side effect of the medication?
