I'm on slow release methylphenidate. Before the medication, I very VERY rarely ate anything in the mornings or at work, and most of the time only ate 1 warm meal a day during the week (big meal, so I was fine and was completely healthy). Now with the medication I for some reason have started to eat breakfast (first because I was told I had to, then it became a habit)... On top of that, i really feel like eating something like 2h after the medication kicks in.

Over all... I'm eating more now.

Edit: ooh yeah, and I'm taking the medication for ADHD if that matters

I have ADHD and Modafinil, Armodafinil, and Arecoline Hydrobromide Huny Mints made me gain weight but made me smarter. Adipex made me smarter, helped ADHD, and helped me lose a little weight the fun way. Also, if MPH (Methylphenidate) can help both ADHD and weight or at least ADHD even if gain weight, then I need it for ADHD.

I'm taking Concerta daily but it really didn't do anything with my appetite.

The numbers don’t make sense 33% overweight and 40% are obese.

There are people that are obese and not overweight?
