Can Adderal Cause pain in Breasts | ADHD Information

[QUOTE=sanfrangal]

Mia,

I have been on Adderall for 14 days now.  I have had some weird pains too!  Not only my breast (also left) but a tightness in my chest like indigestion. Do you have that too?  I see my doc on the 7th.  I am on 20 XR in the morn and I had a headache for about 7 days, that went away, I don't want to eat (I do anyway) and by early eve I am tired and ornery.  I am going to try the 30 XR and then take a 5mg reg around 2 or 3 to see if that helps.  What other symtoms are you having??

Hi,

Well the other symptoms I am having are pretty damn scary.  I woke up this morning with a sore nipple/breast. Just tender to the touch, not really hurting "per say". So I ignored it. But as the day progressed the tenderness became much more noticable. So by this afternoon I had to check it out and see what was going on. So (while I was driving) hahahaha - I lifted up my shirt and looked at my left nipple and breast. And to my "horrible" surprise THERE it was, a large lump in my breast. So when I got home I looked at it closer and there are several lumps. One on my aeriola (right under the nipple) and one that is like an enlgarged vein under to the left of my nipple. There is a patch of red like a red bruise about the size of 2 quarters put together. The red patch is very warm to the touch, and red (but not raised or textured - more like bruised or sunburnt). And very tender, sensitive to the touch. Of course I freaked out.

So I called my psychiatrist (since she is the only medical doctor that will talk to me after hours) - it was way past 5pm. Anyway, she says that it sounds like I have a breast infection (mastitis) or a clogged milk duct. How can I have a clogged milk duct when it's been over a year since I breastfed.

So I found this out, please check it out. All women need to know about this. I found out about it a few months ago, but had forgotten all about it until my breast got red and swollen today.

I really feel the need to get this message out there. It's very important that all women are aware of this. As this

is becoming much more common and much more deadly.   Please send it to every woman you love and care for (and even the ones you don't love and care for)....     I am going through a scare with this right now. I found out that this is more common then you would think. And it's one of the more deadly cancers to get.   I probably do not have this cancer, even though I do have all the symptoms of this.I am going to the doctor tomorrow for this, to have it checked out.  Mastitis, clogged milk ducts, or breast infections can also mimic this type of cancer. So I probably just have that --- a breast infection.   So, I will not be too concerned about it until I talk to the doctor tomorrow. But I just want all women to know about this silent killer.   Please follow the link below and then click on the link called "The Silent Killer:"   http://www.komotv.com/ibc/ Video : KOMO 4 NEWS

I have been on adderal for about 8 days now.

And today I am sore in my left breast. Very sore. And I have lumps all over the nipple area, my skin is red and warm to the touch. I am freaking out.

I am going to the doctor tomorrow, but geez, until then I need some reassurance. Can adderal affect your breasts? could it possibly be mastitis?

I don't know, freaking out here though.
