Dear LWhit525,
I agree with the others. When I took it I made sure and drank lots of fluids. That helped alot. Water is good, if you can make yourself drink alot of it. Good luck to you though and hope it's helping other than that. Sounds like it is..so that's wonderful. Take care and best wishes. Ruth

I carry a glass or bottle around all day long & it does help with indi too. I am trying to get off of omprazole ( & if any one needs help with that, I have the way to do it now, just ask). I just sip all the day long, & it helps with the indgestion or heartburn... Mary

i agree with plege 100%. stomach upset , diarrhea and vomiting are common side effects in any medication taken by mouth. be sure to take it with lots, at least 8 oz, of fluid with the pills.

I would check with your doctor about this before starting prilosec. It may be that after awhile your stomach will settle down. Even tho prilosec, & others are going over the counter, they can cause other problems or may interreact with meds you take. Just a quick phone call will put your mind to ease... Mary

Hello LWhit525. Yes, upset stomach is a common, normal side effect to taking Adderall. As well as nausea and vomiting. I hope you do feel better soon. Regards, pledge
