Wasn't really sure where to put this post...

I've been prescribed adderall for the past year. I don't take much... 7-10mgs a day. I'm just really sensitive to it. I also take 50-60mgs oxy a day.. (I know, I know... not the greatest) nobodies perfect...

So I've lost about 15-20 pounds in this time @ about 155-160. I'm pretty active, and I drink a lot of liquids. I just can't eat much anymore... I have little to no appetite, especially when its hot.

So how can I bring my weight up? is there some kinda power shake I can drink? if so is there one that tastes good? whats the best? and for a reasonable price... (I've been in GNC once or twice and some of the prices were scary). or maybe another idea that would work?


Also what kinda supplements should I be taking for my drug use? Fiber, magnesium, potassium, vitamin c?

I take 500mgs magnesium, and a ton of emergencies because i'm a smoker(possibly too much.. they really taste good)

Any info appreciated. Thanks.

You can abuse drugs, or you can be in good shape. Pick one.

I'm actually in good shape. I weigh 160 and have little fat. Plus I'm prescribed adderall. I use a less than usual amount, and its the reason why I lost weight..

Maybe talk to your doctor? I'm sure there's something they can do to help you out. Maybe they can fix your dosage a little or switch you over to something else. I'm sure they didn't mean for you to lose so much weight when it was prescribed to you. I'd say try that and if that route doesn't work then that's when its time to look at something else.

Not being fat is not the same as being in good shape. What do you bench? Can you run a mile without passing out? Consider these...

Those really aren't my goals dude. I'm in decent shape I have muscles, I surf, swim and go hiking. I'm a laborer on a construction site... I don't go to the gym because I don't like to and don't need to.

My question pretty much states my concern...

If you're muscular and lean, and in good cardiovascular health, then why do you care how much you weigh? Something doesn't add up here...

Does it matter what does and doesn't add up?
Maybe he wishes to put on extra muscle. Maybe he wants to pack on a few extra lipids to "bulk out".
I know many a person who abuses drugs who are in very good shape. Myself included.

Are you trying to put on lean muscle or fat?
I find whey protein, creatine, muscle & weight gain products rich in free and straight-chain amino acids to be very good. Try eating more red meat too. Though you can't just fill yourself with all of the above and expect to turn into a muscular giant. The key to gaining weight via increased muscle mass is high-intesity weight lifting, you'll need to hit the gym my friend.

Thanks eeyore.

I'm trying to put on weight, don't need to be all beefcake. I'd prefer lean muscle tho. I basically just started eating when I wasn't too hungry. I also bought a blender, some muscle milk, and a fiber supplement.

I'm really not into the gym tho. I've tried. Hopefully my job is enough heavy lifting. I'll definitely will try the red meat and creatine.

Whats a product w/ straight chain amino acids and how does it differ from cyclic or branched? Also would it be worth it if I'm not going to weight lift?

Post a body pic.

lol I'll post one.

CAUSE THIS IS THRIIIILER! THRI-LLER-NIGHT!

lol what the hell is that suppost to mean?! :P

Oh nothin. Just wonderin where the back up dancers are thats all:)

oh red eyes... ehe

You need to muscle up a bit -- some chest and shoulder work would go a long way. You've got a good body to work with though. Don't waste your time w/ weight-gainers. Unflavored whey protein in milk (or rice milk) before bed would be a good choice to add a little lean mass if you're working your muscles during the day.

Ya I haven't been surfing in a over a month. Waves aren't on my side of the island Whats a good exercise for shoulders and chest? benching? anything I can do w/o having a bench chair or going to the gym?

The muscle milk I was using was lean muscle building I think. What brand whey protein u take? I went to GNC and asked which was good and the lady pointed me to the most expensive one... (of course):

Think its actually worth it? claims has high absorption, 30% increased muscle strength(lol).

Also hows unflavored taste? and take it only once a day before bed?

Thanks for info.
