Adderall Side Effect

[Crimson Cloud]

Last night i did 60mg of Adderall, 40mg snorted, and 20mg parachuted. All night long urinating was extremely difficult and actually took alot of effort. This has happened to me while on high doses of mdma(5+ pills), but never from speed or meth. And 60mg Adderall is a relatively low dose for me. Anyone else ever experience this side effect? Is it normal or is it a sign of trouble??

This is a relatively common side effect on amphetamines (including adderall, meth, MDMA). Try drinking some caffeine to help stimulate urination...also make sure you are drinking enough water throughout the night.

This is perfectlyt normal. Like fairnymph said drink something like tea or soda to help you piss...

Thanks guys. I did adderall again tonight and took your advice. I drank alot of caffinated drinks as well as alot of water.... and I didnt get that annoying side effect. Thanks for your help.
(I still think it's a little weird that the other night was the first time I had that effect, out of literally HUNDREDS of times doing speed and/or meth. <--In pretty massive doses too.)
P.S.-
VERY nice pic on your profile Fairnymph.

Consult your physician ... if you have difficulty in urinating due to an enlargement of the prostate gland.
the caffeine point is valid though, amphetamines and MDMA are antidiruetics and it's probably beneficial to mix them with caffeine or some other diuretic.

I only have one thing to add...because caffeine is a diuretic and will make you urinate, and adderall increases blood pressure and heart rate, causing you to sweat more, it is extremely crucial that you drink plenty of water. Otherwise, you'll end up dehydrated and will have most likely suffer from a terrible headache. Even though you won't be hungry, try to eat something, fruit is always good, when you take addy too.

Yeah, I've had that side effect as well. One thing that helped me was to gently push on (massage) the area where the bladder is...sometimes it'll stimulate it enough to get the flow going. Not always, but that has helped me quite a few times.

My strategy for dealing with difficult urination:
If you are using a bathroom that also has a sink, turn on the hot water. When it is pleasantly hot (but not burning), just put your hands under the water. This will quickly cause your bladder and prostate (if applicable) to relax and you should have an uncontrollable urge/ability to urinate within a minute or so (just think relaxing thoughts and it feels like a hot bath). It works for me everytime and is without the side effects of caffeine.
