What Causes Urge Incontinence While On Adderall?

I have recently been prescribed adderall IR at a dose of 15mg twice daily. Since I ve started this, I ve not really experienced many of the negative side effects people warn you about except 1. Towards the evening, I find that I constantly feel like I need to urinate. When I go, it is extremely hard to get any urine to come out. When it does, it is just a dribble unless I have a lot of water in my system. Either way though, once I finish I have to stand there and shake it for a while or it will leak a bit when I walk away. Then when I leave the bathroom, I immediately feel like I have to go again. I will feel like I m leaking and sometimes even do leak a bit. So I head back to the bathroom and the cycle repeats. This will usually go on from about 6pm until 3 am. No matter how little or how much water I drink, the issue persists. I have to take OTC sleeping pills or the issue keeps me up all night. If I take a break from adderall the issue goes away so I m certain it is the cause. My quality of life off of adderall is horrible though so that s not an option really. How can I resolve this issue?

Hello and welcome to `Ask A Doctor` service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

Now as it is certain that the incontinence is Adderall related, you have to quit at least the evening dose. Additional molecule in place of evening Adderall should be discussed with your treating physician.

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