<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.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  <response>: 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
