Hi,

Adderall contains amphetamines which are controlled substances and highly addictive. Compared to Adderall, Lipozine would be much safer as the usual side effects are just bloating of stomach, diarrhoea, gaseous distension, stomach pain etc. People who have diabetes should be careful when on Lipozene as it can lower the blood sugar levels. Coumadin is not known to cause much of a weight gain, so please assess if there are any other reasons for weight gain. Dietary excess and hypothyroidism are two likely possibilities. Please try to cut down the number of calories you take if you cannot exercise.

Best wishes.
