Brief Answer:
Side effects of Aderrall overdose intake, follow the advice below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Adderall is a combination of two stimulant drugs, amphetamine and dextroamphetamine.
This medication stimulates a decrease in mucous membrane secretions, so it can also decrease tear production.

This can explain the symptoms that you are feeling due to overdose of Adderall.
I would suggest you to use lubrificant eye drops for relief.
You can try Systane which is an over the counter option.
I also suggest you to drink liquids.
If the symptoms continue you should go to the emergency room for further evaluation and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
