Guest Jamie C. Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Hello, I was recently diagnosed by the NIH with Cushings and Adrenal hyperplasia due to a tumor in my adrenals. I have taken Adderall for a few years now for what I thought was ADD. Can Adderall increase cortisol levels since it is a stimulant? Thanks in advance! jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chief Cushie ~MaryO~ Posted November 30, 2017 Chief Cushie Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Hi, Jamie - I've read that Adderall can increase cortisol levels but I think that the adrenal hyperplasia is an issue apart from the cortisol increase. Will NIH be doing surgery on your adrenal glands? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are in such good hands at the NIH. I too, had surgery there and they saved my life. I hope things are going well for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
