I'm on Adderall and after the first week or two you get used to it and the explosive pooping tapers off. Usually. But that introductory period?

Yeah, buy an extra toilet brush or two...

I take adderall every day and have never had this issue. Eat a more balanced diet lol

u/ProxyMuncher 14h ago

Yeah what the hell is up with people. Fiber and stay hydrated and adderall won’t give you the thunder shits

u/starryeyedq 8h ago

Yeah I’ve taken it for decades now and I have never had any experience like that…

Decreased appetite and shitty sleep? Sure. But that gets much better when you take it consistently and exercise.

u/erhue 14h ago

nah. It's something that varies from person to person. I also get the explosive shits when I take it; but also, for example, massively increased armpit sweat for whatever reason. Most people don't get that side effect, and it's not something that will change with diet either.

Ooo I def get sweaty pits too

u/erhue 3h ago

yeah it's a massive pain. Took me a long time to find a deodorant that could handle that shit properly.

Who is still prescribing this? It's 2026, use Vyvanse.

u/Jealous-Cupcake1557 16h ago

Even with insurance, generic Vyvanse is way more expensive, so we started with a low dose of generic Adderall, which is dirt cheap. It worked well enough, so I haven't upgraded yet. I can always switch if I want to (the doctor did offer it).

There is also a chance it just doesn't work for you too. Adderall was the first one that worked for me, methylphenedate did nothing for me.

u/erhue 14h ago

there's generic vyvanse now as well. Adderall is slightly better I think, but it has more potential for abuse

u/Jealous-Cupcake1557 10h ago

Even the generic vyvanse was like 60 bucks a month vs 8 bucks for Adderall. I can afford either, but I'm not on a high dose and it helped so I didn't see the need to switch. I don't take it every day, either, and it seemed like Vyvanse was catered more towards people who wanted a daily dose with minimal side-effects.

I remember Adderall gave me a kind of high when it kicked in... But that would be followed by a disturbing low. But these things work differently for everyone
