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.
Adderall is no joke, it’s really important to have its use supervised by a doctor. Literally just amphetamines.
Idk if you have a prescription but taking it recreationally/from a connect is hard because there are so many doses out there and I’m assuming what’s available skews on the high side per pill. A lot of people will get the focus effects with pretty low doses (10-15mg) while I see a lot of people post online about taking 40-60mg just like that.
If you feel like it is important to help you read, you should consider getting evaluated. There’s also non-stimulant medication for adhd.
Don't get me wrong, I agree completely. There are many side effects. However, half of the country was on amphetamines for like a 40 year span of time that is generally considered to be the peak of our civilization. Dexedrine was given out like candy, if you ignore the post civil war widow opioid crisis, amphetamines were America's first drug problem - before quaaludes / barbituates, before benzos, before synthetic opiates. Serious, irreversible health risks from stimulants don't really occur until you're taking recreational doses, way beyond any realistic prescribing amount.
