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.

    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.
