Lately I've been taking my adderall as perscribed (20mg IR) a little more than I have in the past because I have been studying a lot more. Well, I've been getting these headaches after the adderall starts to wear off I've been getting these really bad headaches. Any ideas on why this is happening? I will eventually say something to my doctor about it if it keeps happening, but I was just hoping somebody could give me some input.

THANKS

I'm beginning to think that its some type of Migrane side effect.

stimulants have a high degree of headache/migraine side effects in a lot of people.


Good Luck!!

I really CAN'T STAND taking my adderall, I just have the worst time paying attention and doing decent in school without them. I can't pay attention, study, keep on track, etc.

Sometimes it is kind of depressing. BUT, some people just have to do things a little differently I guess and I have come to that realization.

Definitely a common side effect from stimulants like Chem said. It is because of the effect they have on your blood vessels and blood pressure.
