- I am a 17 year old male. I was diagnosed with ADD when I was 13 years old and it affected my schooling. I was prescribed Ritalin when I was 14 but switched to Adderall due to cost and affects. I would take it regularly on weekdays for school. I would take one long-acting early in the morning, I'm unsure about my dosage at the time.
- One day at school I rolled my ankle in gym, although it hurt a little, I could tolerate it and continued running around playing. I went about the day without issue. However when my medication had worn off, I felt the constant pain in the ankle I had rolled, barely being able to walk on it.
- Then nearing the end of that school year I was riding my bike home and ended up falling off, catching my self with my hands but scraping them up terribly. I got up, wiped my hands on my pants, feeling a little pain but I just picked up my backpack got on my bike, and rode home. Again, When my medicine worn out the pain was more than earlier.
- Over the time of taking the same prescription for 3-4 years I came to learn that when I'm on my medicine to be careful if I get hurt, because I know it's worse than if feels. The only change in my prescriptio was recently switching to a short and a long acting in the morning, because the long acting can take some time to kick in.
- I was wondering how and why adderall could affect my pain tollerance/perception. I haven't been able to find anything at all about adderall affecting pain tolerance whatsoever.
