Does Adderall Cause An Abnormal Behaviour?
44 year old wife and mother went from years of being on anti-depression meds to finding a psychiatrist who told her that she does not have depression but ADD and prescribed Adderall. She claims that she has never been happier and all her problems are the fault of her husband. Her already indiscriminate spending of household funds has increased. She seeks divorce and wants her husband to sign for a loan so she can buy a house, with the reasoning that she cannot rent because she has no income on her own, other than future, sizable inheritance. Is any of this behavior attributed to use of Adderall?

Hi,
Despite its reputation for being a "safe drug," Adderall overdose can trigger psychosis and have adverse psychological effects like schizophrenia.
Just check the dose of Adderall taken by your wife and recording the doctor.
