Hi all,
Hope I am writing this in the right place! There are so many topics here, it was hard to decipher where the best place was for my question...
I've been taking adderall on and off for about eight years and it has always worked great. However my doctor recently upped my doseage from 40mg XR to 60mg XR and I think it may be too much as I'm having some major complications with my circulation-- e.g. numbness, dizzyness, very fast heart rate. (The numbness was quite severe-- more than your "expected" coldness)
My question is: I am also prescribed neurontin and seroquel for anxiety. Until now, I haven't taken them because I was satisfied with how the adderall was working and didn't want to interfere with that. So is it safe to take neurontin? I stopped taking adderall about 12 hours ago (60mg dose) and I want to take a week or so off it until I can speak with my doctor. I want to make sure the neurontin won't impact me negatively, particularly focusing on the heart and circulatory systems. My goal with the neurontin would be to sort of avoid those withdrawal effects of adderall, especially the depression and paranoia. (which has always been a troubled area for me)
Any feedback would be great! I did some research on here and got some answers, but a fresh perspective based on my situation would be very helpful. Thanks guys!
