Obesity
"I was given a diagnosis of Adult ADD. I decided to try diethylpropion instead of traditional ADD/ADHD medications.  I have been taking diethylpropion for about 6 years without incident.  My weight has remained the same, I have never had an overweight issue.  The only downside is that the medication only lasts about 9 to 10 hrs. Although it&#039;s fine, my career requires 12 to 16 hr days, 3 to 4 days a week.  My doctor gives me a hard time about the medication, wants me to take another ADD medicine like Adderall.  Every six months I take a week or two off the medication with little withdrawal, meaning NO to little physical effects, more psychological.  It really works for me. I do not smoke, drink alcohol, or take other medicines."
