Here are the side effects of taking Adderall:

  • constipation
  • diarrhea
  • difficulty sleeping
  • dizziness
  • dry mouth
  • headache
  • loss of appetite
  • nausea
  • nervousness
  • restlessness
  • stomach pain or upset
  • unpleasant taste
  • vomiting
Taking this drug when you don't need it also adds the risk that you will have a serious or fatal side effect - when a doctor prescribes medicine, he takes a medical history to know if it is safe for you to take that drug.

Here is what might happen if you take Adderall when you have not seen a doctor and gotten a legal prescription for it - from the Adderall website:

Do not use Adderall if you have any of the following conditions:


Heart disease
Hardening of the arteries
High Blood Pressure
High pressure in the eye (glaucoma)
Overactive thyroid gland

Never take Adderall within 14 days of taking an antidepressant classified as an MAO inhibitor, including phenelzine sulfate. A potentially life-threatening spike in blood pressure could result.

Your doctor will not prescribe Adderall if you have ever had a reaction to similar stimulant drugs. The doctor will also avoid prescribing Adderall if you appear agitated or are prone to substance abuse.

If you have even a mild case of high blood pressure, take Adderall with caution. Be careful, too, about driving or operating machinery until you know how Adderall affects you. It may impair judgment and coordination.

Adderall can make tics and twitches worse. If you or a family member has this problem (or the condition called Tourette's syndrome), make sure the doctor is aware of it. Amphetamines such as Adderall have also been known to aggravate symptoms in seriously disturbed (psychotic) individuals.

If the problem is attention-deficit disorder, the doctor will do a complete history and evaluation before prescribing Adderall, taking particular account of the severity of the symptoms and the age of your child. If the problem is a temporary reaction to a stressful situation, Adderall is probably not called for.

At present, there has been no experience with long-term Adderall therapy in children. However, other amphetamine-based medications have been known to stunt growth, so your doctor will need to watch the child carefully.

If your child has a heart condition, an amphetamine like Adderall should generally not be used. Sudden death has been reported with amphetamine treatment in children with heart problems.

Warning signs of a massive overdose include convulsions and coma. Symptoms of Adderall overdose may include:


Abdominal cramps, assaultiveness, changes in blood pressure, confusion, diarrhea, hallucinations, heightened reflexes, high fever, irregular heartbeat, nausea, panic, rapid breathing, restlessness, tremor, vomiting

If you suspect an overdose, seek emergency treatment immediately.

Will taking lorazepam change the effects of Adderall?

Well Adderall is a CNS stimulant, which is what gives you the speedy feeling. Lorazepam(Ativan) is a CNS depressant. It calms you down. Lorazepam's a downer and adderall is an uper. So if you take the two together, you won't get the adderalls full effect.

A guy gives his number to his friend in front of you then they make a joke about what would happen if you listened to it and took it but then the guy asks you if you want it Is he joking or not?

I think he isn't joking. Maybe he did say it so loud because he intended for you to hear and it would be an excuse to give it to you. Take the number. I would say he likes you.
