Question 1

is aderrall bad for your kidneys?  i have a history of utis and kidney infections.  and i'm noticing on my 2nd day of using aderrall, some kidney pain

Accepted Answer

UTI's: Although Adderall is not necessarily bad for your kidneys, it is node to sometimes increase the frequency of urinary tract infections. If you are having symptoms of a possible UTI while on Adderall, you need to get your urine checked. Good luck.

Question 2

is adderall a salt ..like lithium and therefore harsh on your kidneys?

Accepted Answer

Adderall: Adderall is a molecule that is not harsh on the kidneys. Your pharmacist can also advise you about this and any of your medications.

Question 3

ive taken adderall consistently for 8 years but stopped a month ago. i started back 3 days ago and have developed severe pain near my kidneys?

Accepted Answer

Better see your MD: It might be related to the Adderall or some other reason, so kindly get examined, wish you well

Question 4

does adderall affect kidneys and/or gall bladder? i've been taking 20mg bid off and on for a few years. about a year ago i started having some mild intermittent r flank pain, and requested a liver panel....all wnl. but very recently, like within the last

Accepted Answer

Your : Your right flank pain does not fit in with the side effect profile of Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) (see link to website below).  You should see your doctor to discuss your pain - i don't want you to just assume it's the Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) when it could be something more serious such as a kidney stone.

Question 5

masseuse thinks it's autoimmune dysf. i'm worried- serotonin syndrome?/liver or kidney damage? -on 300mg effexor, (venlafaxine) 60mg adderall & drink.  hbp, edema..

Accepted Answer

Masseuse : Why not ask the masseuse to recommend a good rheumatologist. If you'd rather an opinion from a real doctor, you might see a FP or an internist and let them evaluate you

Question 6

i have numbness on my lower back and abdomen and my skin is crawling. im on adderall, (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) could that be causing these sensations?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Numbness and skin crawling sensations are not likely to be caused by Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) and aren't listed as a side effect. But that doesn't mean this side effect is impossible. Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) can increase anxiety in some patients which could result in abnormal skin sensations.  More often than not, "skin crawling" sensation is anxiety/stress related. The same for the numbness in abdomen and back. Call your Dr.

Question 7

i consumed a lot of alcohol through this past weekend along with adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) (250-300 mg). my lower back hurts when i urinate. what is wrong?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol: What is wrong is that you drank quite a bit of alcohol. Hopefully you are noticing that every day it is getting better.
The main issue is that you should be very careful abut how much alcohol you drink.

Question 8

just been prescribed adderall xr. read that doing intense exercises bad idea?  i enjoy working out. this true?

Accepted Answer

Exercise: Please monitor results and have someone else give you feedback.  We are all different and you need to find out the effect of your workouts on your cognition and behavior.  Avoiding excess is a good thing so moderate exercise MAY be the way to go.  Peace and good health.

Question 9

having problems focusing on school work but don't want to ever take adderall( heard bad things) , any other med.suggestions? not causing tachy?

Accepted Answer

Wellbutrin, (bupropion)strattera: Safer options, without the addictive potential. Ask your dr if these are ok for you. Best wishes.

Question 10

my doc switched me from adderall ir 20mg 2x a day to 40mg focalin (dexmethylphenidate) xr bc he suspected addy wasn't working. focalin (dexmethylphenidate) gives me euphoria, ady didn't, bad?

Accepted Answer

Discuss effects with: prescriber. Euphoria suggests dose too high. Must study effects to determine best dose to help focus of attention without producing adverse effects. Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) is an amphetamine. Focalin is dexmethylphenidate. Some people respond preferentially to one or the other. It's important to observe impact on target symptoms of short attention span, frustration tolerance, activity, etc. Best regards.
