Posted on Tue, 31 Dec 2013
Question: Hi, I'm 18 years old and I was prescribed adderall oral for ADD about a month ago. My dosage is 10mg a day but Monday morning I took 20mg on accident and later that night took another 20mg. Later in the day I had tingling/numbness in my arm, and stared to wordy about my heart rate and blood pressure. I took an aleve to try and thin my blood a little. I didn't take any Tuesday, and today I haven't taken any, but I need to in order to study.. is it safe to continue my usual dosage today? My arm still feels kind of weak but thats the only thing I'm experiencing.
