Friend thinks she has ADHD for weight loss

@Flameember THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

@aries02 me too!!! Haha 😂 I lost a little weight when initially on it but now because I take so many mood stabilizers and other meds that cause weight gain and make it hard to lose weight. But that’s why she refuses to accept she’s presenting as Bipolar 1 Disorder; She just doesn’t want to take meds that will make her bigger even if they do help with her miserable mood!

@100Percent_K thank you, I’ve tried expressing it to her and I feel like she actually has Bipolar 1 Disorder (she exhibits ALL the symptoms of a Dysphoric Hyper Manic Episode) But she knows the meds for bipolar disorder can CAUSE weight gain and make it hard to lose weight. So, she just wants to have ADHD and is seriously OBSESSED About Adderall and getting it for herself. And she’s looking for the dose I’m on which is unfortunately the maximum because I have been on it a decade and my tolerance has gone up. This also feels like a slap to the face because I really am struggling controlling my ADHD rn and it has been hell, I have a psychiatrist Appt coming up to discuss further treatment options. But she wants to be on enough Adderall to send her into freaking cardiac arrest because she THINKS it’ll just magically make her thin and fix her MOOD STABILIZATION problems, which for her, would only get worse if someone was dumb enough to prescribe her a stimulant. I’m even warning my psychiatrist if she calls (because I did refer her before she became obsessed About the Adderall) that she’s been obsessing about acquiring this prescription. And that I fear she does have Bipolar Disorder and if she calls for an Evaluation that she’s unstable. Because I don’t want this woman to tarnish my reputation with my long-time psychiatrist all over the fact she’s obsessive about getting Adderall. Oh, plus she’s trying to get pregnant rn, so adderall is definitely a DUMB AF thing to try to get while trying for a child!!!! And she does have 2 girls under the age of 3 Rn and I’m scared because she’s so neglectful that if her kids got a hold of an adderall prescription that they could accidentally overdose on them because they’d mistake the colors of the medication for candy!!!! WHAT SHOULD I DO TO HELP HER?!?!?!

@Journey2Peace I’ve tried but she refuses to stop smoking to exercise and she refuses to eat healthy either, she just wants a magic pill.

@nekog she’s actually acting like a drug seeker obsessed with it and it’s like hella infuriating as well. Because I do have it and it’s miserable and adderall helps me but it doesn’t fix the hard work we all do with our therapists and apps like Inflow for ADHD and like Alike and all she wants is a prescription for a controlled substance that could legitimately harm her.

@Bridgette thank you!!!!
