Can adderall cause migraine?
Since I started taking Adderall, I've been getting really intense headaches that feel like migraines. I never used to get them before. Is it possible that Adderall could be triggering these migraines?

Yes, Adderall can trigger bad headaches or migraines, especially when it wears off in the evening. If your doctor allows, doing some light evening walks or gentle stretching can help release the tension and improve blood circulation to reduce the pain.
I used to get horrible throbbing headaches every afternoon when my Adderall dose started wearing off. I realized I wasn't drinking enough water and was skipping lunch because of the suppressed appetite. Eating a small snack and hydrating solved it for me.
Oh man, the headache is real! Adderall completely kills my appetite, and skipping meals because I don't feel like eating always triggers a massive migraine. Even if you don't feel hungry, force yourself to eat a small banana or sandwich to keep your blood sugar stable.
My health app showed a clear link between my low water intake days and migraine triggers on Adderall. Since it's a stimulant, it dehydrates you rapidly, which is a major migraine trigger. Try setting hourly water reminders on your phone to keep it in check.
Please don't just tolerate these headaches. I ignored my post-medication migraines thinking it was just tiredness, and it turned out my blood pressure was spiking dangerously high on the stimulant. Get your BP checked by your doctor as soon as possible.

Haan ji, mere bhatije ko bhi isse bahut sir dard hota tha. Dawa thoda tez hoti hai toh sharir mein garmi badhti hai. Khoob paani pijiye aur dhoop mein seedhe mat nikaliye, thoda aaram milega.
