Eating 2 giant meals a day is terrible for your metabolism, would not recommend.

This is false.. eating 2-3-4-5-6 meals a day has little to no impact on your metabolism. It all comes down to calories in/calories out. The reasoning behind eating more small meals, instead of few large meals, is that it prevents over eating at meal time.. not that it speeds your metabolism.

I've been taking 60 milligrams of stratera every day for years and I have none of the aforementioned problems (can't get it up, unable to sleep, eat, etc.). That said Strattera is a very different drug in that it is an inhibitor (the same category as anti-deppresents) as opposed to a stimulant, so the effects are much more subtle. Also if you have any sort of depression disorder you're getting a swag deal.

you take a completely different class of drug and you don't have the same side effects? that's weird man

I've heard of people reporting similar side effects, mostly being unable to eat.

surely you can't be serious?

EDIT: actually please don't derail this thread its a pretty serious one

I've been taking addi for about 4 years or so. Started my Sophomore year of highschool and in my recent gap year I've pretty much stopped taking it, even though I'm back at school now.

Disregarding the "Dude you should totally take it"/"Definitely don't take it, it will ruin you" arguments, I found the best thing to do was to have an eating schedule. I would set alarms on my phone to make sure I ate, and actually had a much easier time with food as a whole; since I wasn't hungry and didn't have cravings I could choose healthy food easier.

Even now, doing a diet, thinking out when/what my meals for the day are has been really helpful. I would highly recommend it.

My doctor prescribed me bath salts and I would be so focused on eating peoples faces that my school work suffered as a result.
