Tingling Sensation In Body, Lasts Few Seconds. Taking Adderall. Multiple Sclerosis?
Ive been prescribed 30 mg daily of adderall for several months and just recently started feeling odd tingling sensations in various parts of my body. It only lasts a few seconds and then goes away and it isn t painful in any way. I m just not sure if it s something I should be worried about. I m also a severe hypochondriac and am worried It might be something more serious like MS.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your symptoms are not suggestive of multiple sclerosis.
They could be related to peripheral neuropathy.
You should get the level of vitamin B12 level checked, as vitamin B12 deficiency could also lead to tingling and numbness in various parts of body.
I hope it clarifies.
Best wishes,
