Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Adderall is having combination amphetamine and dextromethorphan.
Dextromethorphan can cause constipation.
You have developed constipation after starting this drug, not having before.
So your constipation is most likely due to Adderall only.
So talk with your doctor about this and replace Adderall with other drug.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
