I have been on Phentermine for over a year, it is not having an effect on me anymore, not even energy wise, so my doctor recently changed me to Adderall (called something like amphetamine salts) on the bottle, generic version?

Anyways, I have always had a problem with energy level, motivation, focus, memory, etc, so my doctor thought that I might benefit from being on an AD med, he said there is such a thing as ADD with low energy, focus,etc, he worded it better!

Lately I have had these uncontrolable carb cravings, mainly sweets like ice cream, etc, even on the phentermine, I just started the Adderall today, still have the cravings, etc.

Does anyone have advice, does the Addreall take a certain amount of time to work? Phentermine initially worked well for me, I am hoping the Adderall will work as good or better and address my focus problems as well.

As I am sure most can say, I can lose weight when my mind is on track if you know what I mean, but I have a great difficulty keeping my mind on track.
