Hey everyone.
I have cycled once in the past, but some personal issues came up and i was forced to quit prematurely and take some time out of the gym.
Long story short, i have been placed on the prescription drug Concerta, for adult ADHD and Bipolar disorder.
I have been on Concerta for about 4 months now, just about as long as i was out of the gym. I have had no side affects other than loss of hunger. I cannot eat anything and get almost nauseaus looking at food or thinking of food at all. I know that to build muscle you must eat eat eat but i can hardly get through one proper meal, let alone a4-6 lol. I have dropped 15 lbs now, and am 170 lbs, which has me weakened and way less motivated to be doing anything, especially trying to train hard.
I miss the gym and need to be there, its the best thing in life to keep guys like me on the level, but if i can't eat to grow i just risk hurting myself more.
Does anyone else struggle with this currently or has in the past? i have spoken with my doctor obviously but hes not a bodybuilder, nor does he know alot about AAS use. My AAS use will stop for a while at least, b/c i am not in a posiition to hop back on like this. but my bodybuilding i want to keep up with, so i was wondering if anyone had any advice, maybe herbal supps or somethign that would increase hunger or if you yourself has struggled with this maybe there is a diffferent medication or something.
Any advice or Insight is much appreciated.
Thansk,
JHN
