Is it possible that some of that personality change was because you were running a calorie deficit?

I'm not dismissing your overall point. I minimize my use of Adderall for that very reason.

Maybe? I don't think so though. I may have written incorrectly because my personality itself did not change, but it was a massive change seeing eating and drinking remarkably smaller amounts of stuff and I knew it was because of the drug slowing down my digestion. I'd rather have my agency to make mistakes and maybe eat half a pizza when I want to instead of finishing a slice and feeling queasy at the thought of a second one.
