Not directly : The correlation is with your brain function. Hormones can impact brain function - remember pms? Your metabolism may change during your periods increasing the turnover of the adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine). Or you may simply be taking too low a dose to treat your adhd effectively all the time. Check with your prescribing doctor.
