Question for people who have taken Adderall (or a similar medication).?
Preferably those who have taken it for at least a few months (because they would have been past the initial side effects)...
The question: When you were taking Adderall, did you notice that you experienced an increase in frequency and severity of muscle knots?
I've had two doctors, a chiropractor, and a massage therapist tell me that they don't think that Adderall makes muscle knots/back pain worse, but regardless, I'd like to hear from other who have actually taken Adderall. (In all fairness, both of the periods during which I experienced severe muscle knots were after a work accident and an auto accident, so it's definitely possible it's unrelated. It shouldn't take me so long to heal though.)
(If you haven't taken Adderall but nevertheless wish to criticize those who do, save it. )
Answers:
The only way I could link the Adderall to increasing muscle knots would be dependant on the level of your doses. Higher doses of many pills can thin your blood and/or cause you to retain less water, dehydration can cause cramps and muscle knots to tighten. Other than the Adderall dehydrating you I know of no other reason why it would effect in such a way.
