    It would make you feel very energetic, not hungry. An ex friend of mine used to take her daughter's ADD medication, and she lost weight, and talked constantly. But, she ended up angry and depressed. We ended up fighting and I haven't spoken to her in almost 2 years. They are a very strong drug, not a good thing to mess with unless prescribed to you. It can cause heart problems, because your heart races. She was always sweaty even when she wasn't doing anything really physical. I guess that conributed to her weight loss as well as not eating. I'm serious, she ended up really bad. Make sure you put all those bad things in your paper, to try and prevent others.
