Can Adderall Cause Severe Chapping With Swelling In Tongue And Mouth?

I m prescribed to Adderall XR 60mg a day, however, due to this shortage, I ve began taking 2 (20mg) standard adderall. Now I cannot control my lip movements, and other people are noticing. My lips are severely chapped, and everything inside my mouth (tongue, mouth, cheeks) are swollen. I imagine this has something to do with my change in adderall. It s extremely painful and embarrassing.

Hi,

People with ADHD fidget and this includes mouth and tongue movements. You'd have to wonder if there were another neurological cause such as Tourettes, basal ganglion problems, use of anti-psychotic meds long term, or other causes.

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

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
