whyamihere Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It's only 20 mg of Adderall IR , not a large amount at all , yet I've been plagued with certain side effects that are so bad I am going to get a second doctor to see about DC'ing the Adderall and just keeping the Wellbutrin in place . These side effects showed up after starting Adderall a year ago . I liked the boost in energy but the sides suck ! Chest pain (ekg is fine) long frequent urination / end up getting dehydrated because fluid intake can't keep up greasy feeling on skin my skin looks like I've aged 20 years Appetite suppression is expected but I've lost a lot of muscle mass If I take add holidays , the first day back on my cognition and focus is great , I have renewed interest etc . But by the third day my movements feel tweaky and the focus turns into an OCD multitasking ritual . It's not productive . I know some of the side effects are common but what about the muscle loss and frequent urination ? It's like I'm taking a diuretic . My blood pressure is borderline low so it may tie in . I take multivitamins and protein shakes but I can't seem to keep up with the depletion . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, muscle mass loss. Fat is the last source of energy that the body uses. Edited August 26, 2017 by notloki add: In other words, muscle mass loss.
