I have been taking Adderall for almost 4 years for ADD - currently prescribed 30mg bid. In the past few months I have been experiencing awful muscle pain in both my upper arms. The muscles feel so cramped and tender that I can't raise either arm. It can last up to 4 or 5 days at a time. Anyone else have this happen to them using Adderall? Any suggestions on relieving pain besides more meds? (OTC pain relievers - tried them all with little to no relief!)
Thanks!!

Best suggestion I have is to report this to your Dr, it could be a symptom of something serious going on with your body/health. Best. Hope this helps.
Some of the more serious side effects of Adderall involving muscle tiredness and fatigue, numbness of arms and legs. It sounds like you're lucky enough to have them. Anyone can have problems or side effects at any time while on any med. Head meds are well known to cause a variety of s/e. I would think.you.need to contact your prescribing physician as soon as possible. You may need a change. You must take care of yourself.
Please seek professional help.
