Brief Answer:
Hydroxycut not recommended to use while taking zoloft and adderall...

Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,

Hydroxycut is a dietary supplement used for weight loss.

Its use is not recommended when taking zoloft and adderall because it might lead to symptoms of caffeine overdose.
I recommend to reconsider hydroxycut intake while taking zoloft and adderall.

You can discuss it further with the doctor who prescribed these drugs to you.

Hope it answered to your queries!

Brief Answer:
diet changes and more physical activity. .

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

Adderall itself is a stimulant that can help lose weight.

The very best thing I recommend to my patients is to:
- make changes in diet (eat more fruits, vegetables, avoid high calories and processed foods)
- be more physically active (aerobic exercise for at least 30 mins per day)

Hope it will work for you too.
