Alliee Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Just wondering if anyone on here knows why my teeth are darker. My mouth has a purpleish tint. I haven't tried whitening them, yet. My dr. seemed to be familiar with it but gave me no explaination and said it was ok (health wise). I wish I'd known my teeth could possibly get purple before I started taking Adderall. The fact that there is no written explaination on the side effects sheet is unacceptable to me, but I have to accept it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hmm. I've never heard of purple teeth before (purple gums maybe), but my teeth generally did go to hell when I quit Adderall and cigarettes (not sure which was the culprit). My dental hygienist actually said something about a backdraft effect related to quitting smoking. Like apparently my teeth (or gums; I can't remember) were actually going to get worse for a while right after quitting. In any case, I ended up having nearly all of my teeth capped in the following years, as I've chronicled previously. Definitely a pain...especially the part about the money.

Alliee Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Thanks a lot, this actually makes me confused and it's kind of funny. I mentioned "purple teeth" or darker teeth to my dr. He was very considerate and acted like it was actually something he'd seen. he said yea, they look a litle darker" haha, he said it would be ok and offered no explaination. I think I actually told him gums. Well, I feel like an idiot. Gosh, Adderall has honestly made me a little loopy. of course my teeth aren't purple. I don't know what's wrong with my brain these days, I really don't. I never used to be like this, honest. I've only not been taking it for a month. The farther I get away from that stuff, the better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 hmmm...I've never heard of purple teeth before but my teeth definitely got yellower while I was taking adderall. It seemed I had developed a strong "association" with taking adderall and smoking cigarettes. Every time I took adderall, I would have these intensely strong craving cigarettes. As I took higher and higher dosages of adderall, I started smoking more and more cigarettes. I could not do one without the other. The result, much yellower teeth. Oddly enough, when I quit taking adderall ten months ago, my urge for smoking cigarettes suddenly stopped as well...Havent smoked a cigarette since I stopped the adderall.
