Difficulty Breathing After Taking Adderall. Dry Cough, Dry Mouth. No Smoking Or Drugs

After starting generic Adderall about a year or so ago, I started noticing it was continually hard to take a deep breath. No problems have arisen from that, but it's just annoying and not refreshing. I've developed a persistant dry cough that I THINK might have just been in the last few months but I could be wrong. I started getting a bug problem in my apt and I've been obsessively spraying Raid Max and a strong smelling organic spray composed of natural oils. I've only sprayed the latter on occasion in the last couple of weeks.

Even at work I cough, or when I'm out and about. Maybe the two probs are unrelated, and, again, I can't be sure about when the coughing started. I know Adderall is dehydrating and I get a dry mouth a lot as a result, even though I drink 8-10 glasses of water daily. But I also drink about 5-6 cups of coffee too. :) It's my only addiction. I've never smoked or done drugs and I rarely get sick.
