Ampyra?
My PCP was worried that I was losing weight two years ago. I don't have a huge appetite and can hardly ever eat full portions in restaurants. But when we looked into all my meds, I had started taking Ampyra about three months before the weight loss. It's not an amphetamine, but it can "act" like an amphetamine and curb appetite, according to the neurologist. "Eureka!" my doctor said, and once I made an effort to eat more between meals, my weight stabilized. I also have IBS, so am cautious about cream sauces and the like, which can aggravate matters; that keeps the weight down, also. Hope this rings a bell.
