How To Minimize The Side Effects Of Adderall?

I'm taking adderall for my ADD I cannot afford to get off it but it's giving me excessive amounts or constipation and bloating (I think it's gas). When I take stool softners ie. Miralax,gel pills, magnesium citrate. I get to clear out my intestines the start over the next day. Took some gas x tonight from my girlfriend but its not seeming to work. Any suggestions on how to prevent or at least minimize this side effect? Thanks

Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you with thanks for a consult!

I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns according to the latest medical guidelines.


Take Citrucel dietary fiber supplement and it will help for constipation without causing gas issues. Take Pantoprazole + Levosulpiride so that you may get relief from the bloating and you may get proper motility of the digestive tract.

If feel more severe constipation you may take Miralax or Lactulose for prompt relief. Glycerine suppositories may also aid in that.

Keep a diet full of dietary fibers. Take fruits, salads and vegetables especially green leafy vegetables. Take plenty of water too.

Keep a regular physical activity as that will give normal motility to your gut.
