My psychiatrist/therapist agrees with this. She prescribes stimulants as a last resort for attention problems (she doesn't handle patients with narcolepsy), and in small doses compared to "most" psychiatrists (in her opinion). She is also against the use of stimulants for weight loss, since it can get addictive, lead to abuse, etc. The appetite suppression effect goes away after a while, in her opinion, so patients are at risk of using more and more.

What kind of weight loss are you talking about? Is this weight gained because of using neuroleptics? Or do you have weight problems in general (e.g. genetics, poor lifestyle decisions, disability)? For the former, my psychiatrist would change the neuroleptic or reduce its dosage while adding a small dose of another drug to compensate. For the latter, she'd be horrified and would suggest lifestyle changes, exercise, seeing a dietician, etc.

I don't take Adderall. My psychiatrist and I talk about different medications for fun. We often run out of topics to discuss during our hourlong sessions as I'm pretty stable.
