Hello all,
Today I was prescribed Dexedrine spansule BID by my Dr. to use for weight-loss. I am a little apprehensive but excited to see the benefits from this medication, I am starting to seriously consider Bariatric Surgery if this doesn't work. I am 30 and have been diagnosed with severe OSA in the last 6 months and am presently using CPAP with some effect (still scoring 16 on Epworth Scale). I too have tried
diet, exercise but have been unable to loss weight or keep it off for any amount of time and this has gotten a lot worse as I am very tired during the day due to Sleep Apnea that is partially controlled. I have always been a large person, about 3 years ago I was down to 250lbs just in time to start school for a major career change and my weight has been increasing since and I am now up to 315lbs. I am 6'1" tall and this makes my
BMI roughly 41.5. As for using Dexdrine for weight-loss I would stick with what your Dr. has prescribed and see how it goes just make sure that you monitor you BP and inform your Dr. about any side effects. Good Luck we all need it.
