Question by Autismmomof2: Is there something I can take to lose weight after meth addiction?
I have been sober for over 15 years however I have gained 100 lbs. I am over 50 years old and I was pregnant 3 times, quit smoking and have a stressed life with Autistic child and abusive mother. I may be bipolar from all the stress in life and being a reformed drug addict. Is there something I can or should be taking to control my weight gain and depression together? Thanks for all your honest and knowledgable answers.

You should consult with a doctor about this.

As a recovering meth addict, I assume that you are probably limiting or avoiding any sort of stimulants. Most weight loss medicines over the counter are really just stimulants, so I would suggesting staying away from them.

You’ll probably need to examine your dietary needs and plan a responsible weight loss strategy with your doctor or nutritionist. Your doctor might also explore medical reasons for your weight gain. Yes it can also be related to depression, so, your doctor will also consider that. You may be referred to certain specialists to make sure you are getting the right comibnation of expertise for your individual situation, if necessary.

Good luck, and HUGE congratulations on being sober for 15 years!

Why is amphetamine no longer used for weight loss?

January 13, 2010 - 10:23 pm 7 Comments

It is just because of the abuse potential, because I’m sure it’s not that bad. Used for weight loss, it probably would be more effective and easy than any other treatment. I can’t believe they’d rather cut you open and mess with your stomach instead of just give you a prescription for amphetamine. I take the stuff for ADHD and it doesn’t seem like anything anybody would want to abuse.
