[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 543502, member: 11791"] Confuzzled... the stims (such as Concerta and/or Ritalin, in particular) are known to have an appetite-suppressing side-effect. They don't actually cause weight loss, they just make the person "not hungry SOME of the AP medications have an appetite-increasing side-effect. They make the person hungry ALL the time... which tends to lead to overeating. And yes, sometimes one is used to counterbalance the other (I've seen it both ways... but more common to add a stimulant to counteract the AP). But if the problem isn't appetite and calories... then stims don't help. There may be other medications, though, that can help with metabolic rate... [/QUOTE]
