i've noticed i've had a lot of this lately. i figure it's due to the adderall, but i really don't want to discontinue my treatment because of this!!
is it dangerous? why does it happen?
thanks guys.

This happens to me too. When I take my medicine and I am at school walking through the hallways I feel the same thing. Kinda like I feel weak and I cant wait to get to my next class so I can sit down. I didnt tell my doctor about it though because I didnt want him to take me off of it because I feel so focused when Im on it but I dont like the feeling when I start moving around. I dont know why this happens does anyone else know?

I've noticed this a little but I've blamed it on sleeping in weird positions. I do feel weak and fuzzy-headed sometimes but only when I've forgotten to eat.

I get this in my hands, but it's from computer use (carpal tunnel) and sleep position issues (I tend to tuck my hands under my pillow or use my arm to rest my head and the conresponding hand/arm positions definately cause my numness). I haven't heard of Adderall causing this. My knowledge of physiology is limited but Tingling/numness is generally the result of physical pressure on nerves and such, or a neurological condition - I think - so I'd also think that it would be very unusual for Adderall alone to cause this.

Count me in too. I get that feeling, along with A nice headrush getting up fast. Sorta very unconfortable. WHen i work out, sometimes, i cant take adderall right before it, like 1hr, or i may take a bit more Klonopin, because somehow, its potentiating the speedy effects, which is moresoe the Norepinephrine, and causing high heart rate, chills, goose bumps, and an unconfortable feeling. Yet other factors wieght in here, but this could be a side effect. But ya, im another one who wont tell my doctor every little thing, cause im afraid hell cut me. But unless i was like passing out, or keeling over in pain, i know most drugs , even caffiene have some unconfortable side effects.

it might be due to me sitting at the computer for long hours as well. it just seems like i notice it more when i take the adderall.
that would make me want to think that adderall -increases- my awareness of such things, but i find that on the whole it makes my hypersensitivity much less severe, or at least diminishes the effect of my hypersensitivity driving me crazy (this is my favorite thing about adderall.)
