Intermittent Stomach Pains On Using Adderall. What Can Be Done To Get Rid Of This Side Effect?

Hi, I currently am prescribed adderall from my doctor ( 20 mg @ 2x s per day). Although I do not nearly take my recommended dosage, since I only take it when I am studying. I have been taking adderall since I started college in 2010. I tend to get stomach pains from time to time, sometimes very painful, and are there tips to reducing this side effect, or even completely avoiding it? Would eating a small meal when I take a dose help? Thank you, Chase Veillon

Hi welcome to health care magic forum. Of course it is true that adderall has side effects, but need not be true with every one. These days every one is keen about the side effects rather than other features of a drug. After reading the side effects one will naturally have the feeling that he has those side effects. It is the side effect of the brain. It may be or may not be actual side effect of the drug i advise you to consult the treating doctor for confermation. You may need to get the gastroscopy for this purpose. I advise that no one should read the side effects of a drug. If experience a little of variation, or a problem then you can study the side effects or consult your doctor for this.
Besides i advise you some non medical recommendations as, Diversion procedures as yoga, meditation, reading books, like journals, hearing music which help to divert from the side effects, as well as A.D.H.D.
Diet recommendations as Avoid taking spices, chillies,junk foods, and oily foods, which helps to controle the gastric irritation and pain.this is along with adderall tablets.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, milk, egg, meat, seafoods, fruits, juices, and dry fruits to improve blood, general health, and resistance.
Wishing for a quick recovery of the side effects, and thanks for calling.
