Question about adderall

[deco]

I know it's not a steroid but I've seen lot of people on here who've taken it. I was wondering how is adderall linked to gyno? Somewhere online I ran into a guy who said that there's a very small possibility of developing gyno from adderall buit I can't seem to find anything about it anymore...
anyone know anything about that?

its a mix of amphetimine salts. i have not heard of it being linked to gyno

I've never heard of that. Doesn't seem likely, it will cause dramatic weight-loss and appetite suppression if someone uses more than the prescribed dose. Adderall is comprised of amphetamine salts, and can be addictive. Not to mention weight that might be lost isn't just fat, but muscle as well.

Taking 20 mgs. Adderall XR daily with no problems. Fantastic drug. The ultimate "productivity pill".

My breasts remain "unaffected" even when on cycle.

Great for motivation and helping to stay on task. Little potential for recreational abuse, as with Ritalin.

Great stuff to have if you are easily distracted or need focus to reach your full potential.

Only sides are loss of appetite, which is nothing that can't be easily remedied with a couple shots of eq a week.

Yes it is a mix of four.

1/4 Dextro-amphetamine Saccharate
1/4 Dextro-amphetamine Sulfate
1/4 dl-amphetamine Aspartate (racemic amphetamine)
1/4 dl-amphetamine Sulfate (racemic amphetamine)

i never heard of it being related to Gynecomastia before and did not see it listed as a possible side effect on RX list. But who knows, maybe with other meds could be a reaction. Maybe it is prolactin related since adderall influences dopamine but one would not think so logicaly since dostinex is a dopamine agonist and it helps prevent prolactin related gyno. Not sure about that one at all. I think it effects thyroid also not sure if that is related to gyno or not. Good Question!

That statement is wrong.

goddam right it is wrong. Holy shit

^^^^

I agree that statement is wrong. Amphetamines can be extremely addictive and on the ranking scale used to classify them it is up with Cocaine. Although ritalin is used to treat adhd it is quite different from adderall or dexies. Ritaline is "like" an amphetamine. I know many people who have been addicted to these ADHD meds and I have tried them also, yes you can think faster, talk faster, focus better and longer and all kinds of great feeling but be carefull and probally not a good idea to play around with it unless you have a valid reason for using it.

I have been on Adderall since 14 yrs. old.....I'm 26 now. I actually do have issues with nipple tenderness. Because I started the Adderall around the same time as puberty can't be sure. I do know that as a result of being on Adderall for so long I have low cortisol levels. Such tends to be the case with either abusers of amphetamines (which I didn't do) or prolonged (12 years) maintenance usage. However, I have read that amphetamines can indeed cause gyno. My doc confirmed it. My very mild gyno got worse with Nolvadex.....but then when I took Proviron it worked like a f-ing charm. Haven't had to worry about Gyno since. Estrogen levels are good. Now that I'm on Test for a cycle I've raised the Proviron dose from 25 mg to 50 mg daily and thats worked damn well. Plus the Winny and Masteron both being DHT derivatives help with the gyno too. Oh yeah, and the only side effect I get from the proviron other than tightening up my gyno is an insane amount of erections.
