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.
Always good to listen to your body informing you that you have now reached a hard limit, I guess. Yeah anything past 60mg would definitely raise a lot of eyebrows, that's well past anything remotely approximating evidence based treatment.
Also just FYI I know people use mini-strokes and TIA interchangeably, but the T in TIA means transient, it's not actually a stroke unless there's persistent dead tissue and/or neurological symptoms. Glad you're ok.
Absolutely man, thanks for your opinion. Always cool to have a legitimate DR comment on anything related to medicine. Thanks for the information on terminology, yeah the laymen on the internet tend to conflate mini strokes and TIA, I think at the worst, I probably had a TIA. More than likely it was the Vascospasm you described since i'm really not noticing any long term consequences at all from what I experienced and the symptoms match up.
This forum is full of some smart ass people.
