Are Spotting And Cramps Side Effects Of Adderral?

I was given adderral (Rx from psychiatrist) this week on Tuesday. I began taking it on Wednesday. My period (which is extremely predictable) was supposed to start Friday but I ve only had spotting and cramps. Pregnancy test was negative and the likelihood of being pregnant is very slim. Could it be the Adderral?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Adderall is not known to affect the menstrual periods so it is very unlikely that your menstrual bleeding changes are related to it.

I would recommend you to repeat the urinary pregnancy test in a few days. If you still have a negative urine pregnancy test then it is unlikely you are pregnant and your periods should come within the next 2-3 weeks. It happens sometimes due to stress that the periods may be later than usual.

If your periods do not come in the next 2-3 weeks please see your doctor.

I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.

Regards,
