What are the risks and warnings for Dextroamphetamine?

Dextroamphetamine can cause some serious health issues. This risk may be even higher for certain groups. If this worries you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about other options.

risk-warning

Misuse and dependence

  • Risk factors: History of substance or alcohol use disorder | Taking more dextroamphetamine than prescribed | Long-term use | Suddenly stopping dextroamphetamine

    Dextroamphetamine has a risk of misuse and dependence. Misuse is when a medication is used differently than how it's prescribed. Misusing dextroamphetamine raises your risk for serious and sometimes life-threatening side effects, such as high heart rate, high blood pressure, other heart problems, and changes in behavior. In addition, over time, you can become physically dependent on dextroamphetamine to function normally. And if you develop dependence, you might have bothersome withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking the medication suddenly after you've taken it for a long time. These symptoms include irritability, nightmares, and sleep problems. Because of these risks, it's important to take dextroamphetamine exactly as prescribed to you. Don't change the dose or how often you take it without talking to your provider first.

    risk-warning

    Serious heart-related problems

    • Risk factors: History of heart problems

      There have been reports of sudden death, stroke, and heart attack in people with heart problems who took dextroamphetamine at usual doses. Dextroamphetamine can also raise your blood pressure and heart rate. Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of heart problems before starting dextroamphetamine to make sure it's safe for you to take. Your provider will check for heart problems before starting treatment. Let your provider know if you experience unexplained fainting, chest pain with physical activity, or irregular heartbeat while you're taking dextroamphetamine.

      risk-warning

      Aggressive behavior and psychosis

      • Risk factors: History of psychotic episodes, bipolar disorder, or other mental health or mood-related conditions

        Some people who've taken a stimulant like dextroamphetamine can have mental health problems, such as hallucinations (seeing things that aren't really there), aggressive behavior, unclear thinking, and mania. This medication can worsen mood-related problems that you already have, but these changes in behavior can also happen even if you haven't had these problems before. If you develop these mood-related symptoms while taking dextroamphetamine, talk to your healthcare provider right away because you might have to stop taking it.

        risk-warning

        Slowed growth in children

        In studies, children taking a similar stimulant medication for ADHD had a slowed growth rate (both in height and weight). It's not clear if dextroamphetamine can cause something similar to happen to your child. To be safe, your child's healthcare provider will check your child's growth progress closely. If they suspect slowed growth, they might pause or stop your child's dextroamphetamine treatment. Talk to your child's provider if you have any concerns.

        risk-warning

        Seizures

        • Risk factors: History of seizures | High risk of seizures

          Although rare, dextroamphetamine might make it easier for you to have seizures, especially if you've had seizures before. If a seizure happens while you're taking this medication, get medical help right away. You'll likely have to stop taking dextroamphetamine.

          risk-warning

          Blood circulation problems (such as Raynaud's phenomenon)

          Using dextroamphetamine for ADHD might be linked to blood circulation problems, such as Raynaud's phenomenon, which can lower blood flow to your fingers and toes. This problem can cause your fingers or toes to change from a pale or blue to a red color and feel cold, numb, or painful. If this happens, it's usually mild and happens occasionally. But rarely, it can cause sores to form and damage your tissue. Let your healthcare provider know if you experience any of these symptoms. Usually, they get better when the dextroamphetamine dose is lowered or the medication is stopped.

          risk-warning

          Serotonin syndrome

          • Risk factors: Taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) 14 days before starting dextroamphetamine | Taking other medications that raise serotonin levels in your brain

            Serotonin syndrome is a rare, but potentially life-threatening condition where there's too much serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is one of the chemicals in your brain responsible for your mood. Since dextroamphetamine might raise your serotonin levels in the brain, your risk for this condition goes up if you use dextroamphetamine with other medications that also affect serotonin levels. These medications can include antidepressants (e.g., sertraline (Zoloft), duloxetine (Cymbalta)), MAOIs (e.g., phenelzine (Nardil)), and certain migraine medications (e.g., sumatriptan (Imitrex)). Symptoms of serotonin syndrome include fast heart rate, sweating, muscle stiffness or spasms, high fever, changes in behavior, and confusion. Get medical help right away if you have any of these symptoms.

            risk-warning

            Interactions with other medications

            Dextroamphetamine can interact with a lot of commonly used medications. Dextroamphetamine counteracts (works against) the effects of many blood pressure medications, including prazosin (Minipress) and beta-blockers like propranolol (Inderal) and metoprolol (Lopressor). This means that the blood pressure medications might not work as well for you if you take them at the same time as dextroamphetamine.

            Additionally, avoid taking dextroamphetamine with other medications that affect serotonin levels to lower the risk of serotonin syndrome. Also don't take dextroamphetamine with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) because of the risk of severely high blood pressure and serotonin syndrome. Make sure your healthcare provider and pharmacist know about all the medications you take (including over-the-counter medications and supplements) so they can check for any dangerous interactions. Don't start any new medications while taking dextroamphetamine without letting them know.

            Pharmacist tips for Dextroamphetamine

            pharmacist
            • Avoid taking dextroamphetamine too late in the day. Otherwise, the medication can make it difficult for you to sleep at night.

              • Take dextroamphetamine with or without food. It's best to take it in the same way each day so the medication gets absorbed into your body consistently. Don't eat or drink too many acidic things (e.g., fruit juice, citrus fruits) because they can affect medication absorption into the body.

                • Avoid alcohol while taking dextroamphetamine because it can make your ADHD symptoms worse and make your medication work less well. This combination can also cause dangerous side effects, including alcohol poisoning and heart problems.

                  • Avoid driving the first few days after you start dextroamphetamine and after dose changes until you know how this medication affects you. Dextroamphetamine might cause dizziness. It might also cause blurry vision, which can affect how well you see.

                    • Stimulants like dextroamphetamine can lower appetite, which can potentially lead to some weight loss. If your child is taking dextroamphetamine, the medication might also affect their growth. Make sure to follow a healthy and balanced diet. If you notice that you're not eating enough or you're losing too much weight while taking dextroamphetamine, let a provider know.

                      • Dextroamphetamine might worsen tics and Tourette syndrome. Talk to a provider if you have these problems so they can see if this medication is right for you.

                        • Dextroamphetamine can interact with several medications. Make sure your provider knows all the medications you're taking before starting dextroamphetamine. Don't start any new medications while taking dextroamphetamine without talking to your provider or pharmacist first.

                          • Take dextroamphetamine exactly as your provider told you to. Don't change your dose or suddenly stop taking the medication without talking to your provider first. Doing so can lead to bothersome withdrawal symptoms, such as tiredness, irritability, and trouble sleeping. If you want to stop dextroamphetamine, speak with your provider about how to do so safely.

                            • For the dextroamphetamine extended-release capsules: Don't cut, crush, or chew the capsule because it'll affect how it releases medication into your body. Each extended-release capsule is specially made so that some medication is released into the body right away, while the rest gets slowly released throughout the day.

                              • For the dextroamphetamine oral liquid: Make sure you know how much medication you need to measure out and take. Only use an oral syringe or dosing cup from the pharmacy to measure out your dose. Don't use household spoons because they aren't accurate and might cause you to take the wrong dose. Store the dextroamphetamine oral liquid at room temperature in the bottle you got from the pharmacy to protect it from light.

                                faqs

                                Frequently asked questions about Dextroamphetamine

                                How long does dextroamphetamine take to work?
                                The immediate-release formulations of dextroamphetamine (i.e., tablets, oral solution) can typically start to work within 30 minutes to 1 hour. A small study of children suggests that the extended-release dextroamphetamine capsule might start to work within 2 hours. Speak with a provider if you're concerned about how long it's taking dextroamphetamine to work for you.
                                How long does dextroamphetamine last?
                                The effects of immediate-release formulations of dextroamphetamine (i.e., tablets, oral solution) can typically last for 4 to 6 hours. The effects of the extended-release dextroamphetamine [capsule] typically lasts for about 6 to 8 hours. Speak with a provider if you have questions about how long the effects of dextroamphetamine are lasting for you.
                                Is dextroamphetamine a controlled substance?
                                Yes. Dextroamphetamine is a schedule II controlled substance. It's a controlled substance because it has risks of misuse and dependence, which can lead to addiction. Misuse is when a medication is used for non-medical reasons for its desirable physical or emotional effects (e.g., a "high" feeling). People can also misuse the medication when they take it even though it's not prescribed for them (e.g., for its effects on mental focus). Misuse can lead to changes in behavior and serious, sometimes life-threatening heart problems. Dependence is when you rely on a medication to function normally and experience withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking it. These withdrawal symptoms can include depression, fatigue, and sleep problems. To help lower these risks, only take dextroamphetamine as prescribed by your provider. Follow your provider's instructions to slowly lower the dose before completely stopping the medication. If you have any questions or concerns about these risks, speak with your provider.
                                How do dextroamphetamine and Adderall (dextroamphetamine / amphetamine salts) differ?
                                The main difference between dextroamphetamine and Adderall (dextroamphetamine / amphetamine salts) is the active ingredient that the medications contain. Dextroamphetamine is a single- ingredient medication, whereas Adderall contains a mixture of dextroamphetamine and amphetamine. Both medications can treat ADHD and narcolepsy with similar side effects (e.g., restlessness, loss of appetite, trouble sleeping). Compare the two medications to see what similarities and differences they have. Talk to your provider about which medication best fits your needs.
                                Can I take dextroamphetamine if I'm pregnant?
                                If you're pregnant or thinking of getting pregnant, talk to your provider about the risks and benefits of taking dextroamphetamine. There isn't consistent evidence available to know whether dextroamphetamine is safe to take during pregnancy. Some studies found that pregnant people who took a stimulant like dextroamphetamine had a greater likelihood of developing pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia or early delivery (preterm). In addition, newborn babies born to mothers who took stimulants during pregnancy have a risk of developing neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) or withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms can include low birth weight, poor feeding or sucking, and irritability. If you're currently pregnant and taking dextroamphetamine, it's encouraged that you enroll in the National Pregnancy Registry for ADHD Medications that keeps track of your and your baby's health outcomes. Enroll in this registry by calling 1-866-961-2388 or by visiting their website.
                                Can I breastfeed while I'm taking dextroamphetamine?
                                It's best to avoid breastfeeding while you're taking dextroamphetamine. Stimulants like dextroamphetamine can be found in breast milk, and the medication can potentially raise the risk of serious side effects (e.g., blood pressure and heart rate changes, growth problems) in your breastfed baby. Talk to your provider about the risks and benefits of breastfeeding while you're taking dextroamphetamine. Your provider might recommend other ways to feed your baby.
