Brief Answer:
NO, adderall doesn't cause oily stools.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this oily stool that you have reported. Adderall is not known to cause oily stools. Oily stools often suggest a problem with digestion. If you ave been having oily stools for a long time, I will suggest that you go ahead and get some testing done. The best doctor to start with is your primary care physician and probably a gastroenterologist if your doctor cannot address it.

If this is a recent observation, I suggest that you monitor again and let's see what the evolution looks like. Most often, it is a transient observation that may be related to diet and doesn't need any specific medical intervention and often resolves spontaneously.

Have you had any recent changes in your diet? Have you ever had gall bladder surgery? Pancreatitis(inflammation of the pancreas)? These are other possible contributing factors.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
