My fiance was on adderall for years, and if you can find an alternative to it, I would highly recommend it. It's very easily abused, and even if it's used correctly, its common for people on it to have trouble with relationships (we did some research when we began having trouble with it). It's such a harsh stimulant that it can create behaviors in you that you would not normally have.
I also know a few other people who have had major problems with it, so perhaps you could try asking your doctor for other options. If you're on a really low dose, perhaps that is okay too.
As far as the weight loss goes, he was on it for years, and often didn't eat when he was, so when I met him he was about 10-15 pounds lighter than he is today, without it. But that didn't just appear overnight, it crept up over the last year or so while he's working a fairly sedentary job.
