It sounds like your boyfriend may have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

You  may not have thought of this because most people think that those with OCD are just neat freaks. However, there are different scenarios in which a person can have OCD.

I found this out about two years ago when i started to develop disturbing thoughts that made me extremely guilty. Sounds weird right? Why would i feel guilty for not doing anything wrong? Anyways, it seemed like these thoughts has a mind of their own, i couldn’t control them no matter what i did. This led to me having extreme breakdowns. I also have reason to believe that it was one of the main reasons i developed Severe Depression. Eventually i couldn’t handle it anymore. I went to see a psychiatrist about it and he diagnosed me with OCD. This was a shock to me because i used to be one of those ignorant people that thought OCD only had to do with being clean. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

The “Compulsive” part of OCD refers to irresistible urges,thoughts,actions, etc. against ones conscious wishes. Which is why i say that it seems your boyfriend has OCD. Before you ask “Is it possible to have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder AND Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?” The answer is, Yes. I’ve been diagnosed with both OCD and ADHD, and since i’ve been diagnosed everything has started making sense to me. I’m on medications for my disorders and my life has seriously turned around for the better.

So, with all of that being said, I suggest talking to your boyfriend about going to see a Psychiatrist and getting prescribed medications that can help end these actions of his. This, however, is the best case scenario. The worst being that he may actually be a cheater. All you can do is try and find out.

I hope this helps and the issue clears up. 🙂

Have you tried taking Vyvanse? I’ve been diagnosed with Severe Depression and ADHD and as a result I have to take Sertraline (Zoloft) & Vyvanse. The combination works extremely well for me. Maybe it would do the same for you.

I have not been on Adderall before but I can tell you about my experience with Vyvanse.

A year ago i was diagnosed with ADHD and was prescribed Vyvanse to help me focus on my school work. When i’m on it i notice a huge difference in not only my focus but my appetite and weight as well. After starting Vyvanse i was able to focus on getting my mathwork done, something i had never been able to do before! I managed to keep an A in math the WHOLE year and was even offered the opportunity to bump up to a higher class. All of this came as an extreme shock to me because all throughout elementary and my first two years of middle school math had always been my worst subject. In my last year of middle school i received extremely good PSAT scores, a junior scholars award and i finished off the year with all A’s.

However, i also noticed that i had a decrease in appetite. I’ve always been one of those people that ate when they were bored but luckily it never really affected my weight. This being said, as soon as i started the Vyvanse i stopped snacking when i was bored and found out that i had lost at least 16 pounds since i had been weighed last. Although it had been almost a year since i had been weighed last. Anyways, once summer rolled around it became difficult to continue taking my meds on schedule and so i stopped taking them. Summer is coming to an end for me now and about two weeks ago i weighed myself first thing in the morning after going to the bathroom so that the results would be more accurate and discovered that i had gained 10 pounds since i stopped taking the Vyvanse. This left me at 130 pounds and a little disappointed. After that discovery i realized that my appetite had been larger all summer, resulting in my weight gain. With school starting soon i realized that i needed to start taking my medications again so that my body can get used to them by the time school starts, so i started taking my meds again two days ago. I got up this morning, went to the bathroom and then weighed myself and i’ve lost 2 pounds in two days. This isn’t very accurate seeing as how it’s that time of the month and bloating currently factors into my weight but its still a difference.

I’m currently taking one 70MG capsule every morning. I haven’t had to up my dosage of Vyvanse in the years time that I’ve been taking it so far.

Hope this helps,

Caitlin.

With all of that being said, Vyvanse definitely causes weight loss and helps with concentration but i don’t recommend taking it just so that you can lose weight. Vyvanse is a prescription drug for those with ADHD and ADD, some doctors may use it to treat other things but according to my doctor it should only be taken when diagnosed with such disorders.

Hope this helps,
