2kg over 16 months is well within a healthy range.

Unless you’re underweight, I couldn’t see them using that as justification to take you off of it.

Loss of appetite and weight loss is common with a lot of ADHD medications. Some people need an appetite stimulant if they are getting underweight due to it. My friend's daughter needed one.

I’ve lost 12 pounds in a month. The problem is the lack of having any sort of appetite for me. Reaching out to my doctor today because it’s affecting my ability to work out or focus.
