> I have ADD and take a low dose of Dexadrine: typically, 5-10 mg/day. I have always been a good shape (middle-aged female), and exercise is part of my life (moderate weight training and regular cardio). But since taking dexadrine (for about a year and half), I have gained about 10-15 pounds that I cannot take off. My diet is pretty good.

I don't see how you can gain weight from something that speeds up your metabolism and surpressed apetite. Dexedrine has be presribed to aid in treating obesity.
But than again we all have different reactions.
