Bulimia is an eating disorder that affects people of all ages. But what are the characteristics of bulimia? And how do you know if you have it, or not?...

Q: Adderall And Bulimia

The side effect I love about my adderall is that it cured my bulimia (i'd been bulimic for 20 years). I haven't had even one episode since starting it.

Also, since starting adderall I have become a raw foodist (just because I did it before and really wanted to get back to it). I love living on raw food, and I look and feel better than ever. I actually eat a ton more now (i didn't eat much because of the adderall). My problem is that I feel like a hypocrite because I live this blissfully healthy lifestyle, yet i'm addicted to this prescription drug. I go through really bad withdrawals without it, plus i'm afraid the bulimia will come back and i'll end up going off the raw food. I've tried cutting back slowly. No go. Thoughts?

I may be totally off, because I have never been addicted to a drug, so i'm not quite sure what a withdrawal feels like, but I have tried adderall. Maybe if you changed to something else like smoking pot to make you feel better (change from an addictive drug to a non addictive drug) maybe it sounds stupid, but I feel that it is what I would do.

It's not that I feel bad...I actually feel really good. Just hypocritical.

I've never been addicted to anything, either, before this. Also, I wish I could smoke pot (everyone seems to enjoy it so much) but it makes me nervous and stressed out. I'm kind of an opposite person with how things react with me.

Pot's not addictive? Hmm. Well, nonetheless, it seems like it'd be healthier than an amphetemine.

Nope, pot is not an addictive drug, granted, people can have a psychological dependence on it, but I have been smoking it for 3 years and I can stop anytime.

Can I buy pot at your site diana? Or just adderall without a prescription.

To the poster, why are you taking adderall? If your taking it for the wrong reasons, maybe you should feel guilty.
