According to official reports, made by the FDA and Adderall's manufacturer
Shire Pharmaceuticals, there are several Adderall side effects associated with
its use:
- Sudden Death: According to
recent reports as many as 51 Americans and at least 30 others have
died while taking Adderall. While no definitive link has been made
between Adderall and these deaths, regulators are on high alert
and are committed to further evaluating these risks.
- Abuse Potential: Adderall carries
a black box warning (the strongest warning issued by the FDA) informing
consumers about the significant abuse potential of Adderall. Reports
have indicated that Adderall is a commonly abused prescription medication,
particularly popular with college students.
- Addiction: Adderall is an addictive drug. It
can cause physical chemical dependency, making it difficult to stop
taking this medication after extended use without experiencing adverse
withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms can include severe depression,
extreme fatigue, and other adverse events.
- Psychosis: Adderall may actually worsen the
symptoms of existing mental illness. Adderall can also worsen the
symptoms of Tourette's syndrome and tics.
- Cardiovascular Risks: Studies show that Adderall
may cause stroke, heart attack, high blood pressure and other cardiovascular
risks.
