Hey guys! I just recently joined this group and I was wondering if any of you find it normal to have dizziness, rapid heart rate, and a headache after taking adderall for the first time in a while? I don’t know if this caused by taking too much or if it’s wearing off. I’m glad to be apart of the group:)

Hello, SS1902~

What is "a while"?? Going off of medication, takes it out your system, so it is like starting it for the first time again... Hence, the dizziness and headache. Those went away after about 1 week. So anytime you decide to go off it you'll experience those effects.

Since it's been "a while", you should watch those symptoms and see how long they continue.. If they keep on going, please consider calling your doctors nurse and talking about these, as it could mean you need a different dosage.. Your health is so important!!

I finally got ADHD medication this past March. I'm so glad, because it has really calmed the racing mind and allowed me to focus. Started at 10mg, now at 20mg.. working well.

Others on this forum, recommend taking it with food/ breakfast. Another suggested premium protein shakes. Just some ideas...

Hope this helps on your journey!!
