Does Adderall XR Cause Severe Depression?

My girlfriend of 4 years decided with no warning to end our relationship. Said she feels empty, depressed and takes no joy in anything. Doesn’t know who she is anymore. Swears it has nothing to do with me. Completely out of character for her. Could this be a side effect of the adderall XR she has been taking for the last 1-2 years
