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.

    I'm overweight and have been taking Adderall for almost 30 years.

    No stroke or heart attack yet.

    Don't take Adderall recreationally, but continue to take it if you have ADHD and it is the only thing keeping you from walking off a tall building.

        Yes, been on Inderal long acting - blood pressure med - since the early 00's.

        I only take 30-40 mg of Adderall per day. Never recreationally.
