Is it safe for a 13 year old with ADHD taking concerta to use xenadrine? thee weight loss thing?

NO, not safe at all! Trust me! My son has ADHD and lost 20lbs on Adderall. You can't go mixing the meds that are in your ADHD medication with anything that the doctor hasn't prescribed for you. At 13 you shouldn't be trying to take diet pills anyway. Concentrate on getting more active, and eating well balanced meals- less fat, more veggies, lean proteins, things like that. If none of that is working talk with your parents and doctor about what is going on, and find out if maybe they can change the ADHD medicine you're on.

any diet pills at any age are not good, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE YOUNG LIKE YOU. diet pills are dangerous and rarely work. if i can't stop you there, you really need to ask your doctor. are you on any medication for your adhd? if you need to loose weight, which in
my opinion you probably don't - you're young, still growing ect. - do
it by eating healthy and exercising for fun.
