What Causes Rectal Bleeding While On Adderall?

I have been taking adderall IR for some time now and as when i first started i am having large amounts of rectal bleeding to the point that once it starts it takes upwards of 10 minutes to stop dripping from wtihin. Is there any suggestions on how to counter act this side effect without stopping the prescription?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern.
Discussion:- Adderall is mainly taken for (ADHD) Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and this may not cause any rectal bleeding, if this is the bleeding per rectum then it could be something else, if this the frank bleeding then it could be due rectum pathology, if this scanty one then it could be due to infection, over all drug (Adderall) is not the cause.
Meditation:- Underlying cause need to be treated.
Advise:- wait for some time have fibber containing diet, constipation need to be taken care.
Comment:- you have not mentioned your age and gender here else something specific can be thought.
Hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
