Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.com.
According to the information on Adderall, you should notify your doctor if the following occurs:
mental/mood/behavior changes (e.g., agitation, aggression, mood swings, depression, abnormal thoughts)
Based on what you have said, I would contact your doctor right away and let him or her know what type of behaviors you are seeing.
