Was using adderall to plow though some reading material and suddenly felt the right side of my face tingle and go numb, I then looked in the mirror and my face had slightly drooped. Immediately went to the hospital and it turns out I had a TIA whats basically a transitory stroke, im now on high blood pressure and high cholesterol medications and im not even overweight, I'm also only 31 with the possibility of a full on stroke always on the horizon.

If you have a history of heart issues, just leave stimulants of any form alone tbh, im even wary of coffee at this point.

    Had a friend have a cocaine induced heart attack (when he thought it was MD no less) in his 20s. Be careful out there.

    OP you ok? Prognosis ok?
