weight gain with medications

Hello My name is Kristen. About a year ago I was on a medication for my ADHD. It was a stimulant so I rapidly lost about 40 pounds because it suppressed my apatite. I have since then gained about 20 pounds back and am continuing to do so despite my best efforts to drop it. It has been an incredibly frustrating emotional roller coaster as not only have i gained unwanted weight back but the weight just will not come off. Im terrified im heading right back to where i was previously. Has anyone else experienced this? Im desperate for answers. if anyone has experienced this and has any suggestions on how to get rid of the excess weight it would be greatly appreciated. I am currently using the macro diet and have been using fitness blender 8 week fat loss program for excersize. I Started to see small results but then quickly plateaued.
