Does anyone else find they have to urinate every 15 minutes when on Adderall? It's almost like a catch-22. You have to drink lots of water to keep your mouth from drying up but then it makes you pee like a horse.

I'm doing that with Elavil.

I just look at it as a way to make me drink more water :D

yup. plus i think it stimulates the bladder or something? (i seem to have less capacity so to speak.) after having 2 big babies (and im pretty small), i dont like this problem at all :(

Maybe it is more of a dehydration effect... making your mouth dry and sending all of your water out!

Doesn't happen with me. It almost seems like my body is using up all the extra water I'm drinking.

It's certainly not abnormal. You should drink alot of water but if you feel it's excessive (like over a gallon a day or something) you might try just using sugerless chewing gum. I drink about 2-3 liters a day but I'm certainly not running to the bathroom constantly.

yeah, lots of ****ing. I also have to take a crap after taking a pill pretty often.

I have exactly the same thing with drinking and ***ing. Each time I go somewhere I have to plan like for a little expedition and make sure I have always access to enough fluid!
I wonder if this could be damaging for the kidneys on the long run?
Any ideas?
