Can Adderall Cause Penis And Testicle Shrinkage?

I have recently started a prescription of Adderall 40mg for ADHD. I wanted to know if the medication causes issues with the penis and testicles. It s like my testicles have retracted some, and my penis is smaller. Any answers would be very much appreciated!

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Adderall contains a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. It is used to treat narcolepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
More common side effects noticed with its intake include: Bladder pain, passing cloudy urine, painful urination, increased heart beat, frequent urge to urinate and lower back or side pain. It is not known to adversely affect male genital organs such as testis or penis and hence you need not be worried about it.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
