Ok, I have adult ADD, I don't really get hyper I'm always sorta calm but my mind is always swirling with several thoughts and I cant focus, plus I am extremely impulsive and procrastinate everything.

So my doctor prescribed me with 20 mg of Adderall xr and I'm having trouble with the side effects

When I take adderall on a empty stomach I feel the effects it seems to really help. I have more energy I have more motivation I can concentrate and oddly enough it reduces my anxiety gives me confidence and I become much more social, however my blood pressure goes up to about 140-150 over 90-100 and my pulse will go to about 100-120 my neck starts to feel pretty tight, so that is bothering me. When I take adderall on a full stomach it effects my blood pressure not at all but I dont think it helps any with the add either.

Im 24 6'3 180lbs and my normal blood pressure is about 125 over 75 with a pulse about 80

Do i need to cut down my dosage to 10mgs? or will my body get used to the adderall? I dont go back to see my doc until 3 more weeks but I'm a little scared to take adderall anymore if it effects my blood pressure so much.

Anyone else had this problem?

We're no doctors, and even if we were, we could not really tell you what to do at a distance without knowing all the facts. You should contact your doctor when you have specific medical questions. If we were to give you advise and it had an ill effect - that'd be very wrong! If you're worried, or the side effects bothers you, just call him/her and ask .. your health is important! My psychiatrist tells me every time again .. if there's anything that you want to know, or if something bothers you or you don't feel well... just call me.

I personally take a beta blocker when I take stimulants to keep BP down.
