[|Human|] Hi, just wondering if there were any studies that supported adderall as a cause of kidney stones. Ive been on adderall for at least 10 years, and only just started getting the stones about 2 years ago. But since then theyre very frequent.  However, when I went off adderall I noticed they lessened significantly, and have already increased tenfold in the week since I started taking it again. When I was off adderall,  I was off for about 6 months. One stone was analyzed and the results were indeterminate origin, or something similar to that, I cant remember the exact way it was phrased. The first stone I had was excruciating, however,  after that, the others dont seem to be as painful, even though sometimes they do look bigger. I dont know if this is a sign of something bad either, but I hope not.A year ago, my kidneys were tested and were functioning fine, despite the stones.I hope you can put all this info together and maybe help me out a bit.I will talk to my doc in June,  but right now Im out of the country and would just like some quick advice! Thanks!Katie
[|AI|]  Greetings ! Welcome to the site. Well it is unlikely for Adderall to be the reason behind your kidney stones since it is not associated with this as a side effect. The fact that after discontinuing Adderall you noticed a decrease in the frequency of stone formation could be best described as a chance finding as kidney stone formation in the body is very random and not dictated by any regular timing / interval and so this very nature of kidney stone formation justifiably explains the frequency decline which coincided with Adderall with Chat Doctor. So to summarize---- Adderall is unlikely to be the cause for your kidney stone formation.-- You shall continue taking Adderall as per the guidance of your doctor.-- As for kidney stones you should keep yourself well HY
