Muscle tension is a common side effect of Adderall.

What are your experiences, opinions, and/or knowledge about using muscle relaxers to counter the muscle tension?

Could the combination work? Any suggestions of potential danger in the combination?

My doctor prescribes me both but it has never been discussed about using the muscle relaxers for this purpose.

I am prescribed both but I wouldn't take them together. One would counter the effects of the other. I take flexeril an hour or so before I go to bed. I take the flexeril to control the muscle spasms in my back from an old injury. I don't take them everyday though, just when I have the spasms. Typically, it is never a good idea to mix an upper (adderall) and a downer (muscle relaxer) with each other especially at the same time. However, you should discuss this with your doctor and come to a decision.

I use Skelaxin as needed for Fibromyalgia and TMJ, I most often take it at bedtime. I opted for Skelaxin because Flexeril tends to make groggy in the morning. Another benefit of the Skelaxin is that if I take it during the day I don't worry about driving etc. I've not heard of any adverse effects of taking either of these with Adderall.

I'd ask your doctor what he says, so if something goes wrong you can sue him so hard his the bank accounts of his great-grandchildren ring with the echoes of emptiness.

I've been on Adderall for about a month, when does the muscle tightness begin, or won't it if I keep working out and lifting weights?

Hmmm.

I think the muscle tension is only a potential side effect. I believe it depends on what your anxiety/stress level is or if you have any other muscle related conditions prior to adding Adderall into the mix. Exercise is a great stress reliever so, unless you are already tense, you may never have to deal with that side effect.

i get it a little bit in my upper arms and upper front side of my legs. It's not bad, and is only there briefly, so i don't worry about it too much.
