As of May 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Adderall to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and narcolepsy, but has not approved the medication for use as a weight-loss aid. Despite this, some health-care providers prescribe Adderall for this purpose. While Adderall may help some individuals lose weight, you should never take the medication for this purpose without the permission and guidance of your doctor. Taking Adderall for purposes for which it was not intended, such as weight loss, may have serious consequences.
