Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms after taking adderall. These symptoms are very unlikely to be related to a side effect of this drug, This may very much represent acute tonsilitis or pharyngitis. I will suggest that you get this looked into and treated accordingly and don't just ascribe it to possible side effects.

Please, i understand the reasons for taking adderall but it never makes it a god idea. That is a substance of abuse and doesn't settle good. it can make you prone to future substance abuse.

II hope you find the above information helpful.Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to request for clarifications or ask for more information if need be.
I wish you the best of health.
