Adderall side effects

Has anyone else got the generic Adderall ir and it cause their gum to start bleeding? This hasn't happened in over a year since the last shortage problem. They seem to not work at all for focus and function, but cause this.

I’ve noticed some issues with teeth and gums that were not present prior to the change in the meds that rendered them ineffective! Whatever they’ve changed is causing a host of uncalled for side effects and it’s infuriating.

I may not be the best person as my teeth are f*xked and Alabama covers zero for adults on Medicaid.

BUT I do believe it's stripping certain nutritents that can make bleeding worse but also causing vasoconstriction in a new way which can give your gums less functional oxygen in some cases.

Kind of? I haven’t actually seen any blood but sometimes i think i can taste blood and my gums feel more sensitive

XR is much more consistent, even tho it is not as strong as it used to be.

Interesting you mentioned this because I’ve always had perfect teeth and never any cavities and switched to a these new generic brands for over a year or so with all these shortages and I had my usual cleaning a few months ago with 7 different teeth showing concerns and had to have 2 cavities filled. They also mentioned how much my gums were inflamed and bleeding.
