Bathroom Frequency | ADHD Information

YUP!!

Dexedrine and other amphetamines are known diuretics.  They make your kidneys work overtime and boy do mine ever!  At work between frequent bathroom breaks and sweat from my accelerated metabolism I drink many liters of water a day.  When at rest I drink a lot less - I think the kidneys kick in under pressure.

Caffeine is ALSO a diuretic - so if you're like me and drink java while on stims you pee twice as often!  I work in a factory so I have to choose my breaks fast and whenever I can.  It's a trick but well worth it.

Glad to see your post!

Hey all, just wondering if anyone else who is taking adderall or other stimulants, has the pleasure of using the restroom (1 or 2) , very often during the day.  I do drink a ton of fluids still, but it seems since I got on the adderall, I am going #1 a lot more often than before.  I had read somewhere where any type of stimulant i.e. caffine, nicotine, etc...  speeds up your digestion, so maybe that's it.  Anyone else notice this?  Thanks.
