Can Withdrawal From Adderall Xr Cause Increase In BP Level?

I am 30 yr female 5 2 147lbs. I had a baby 2 years ago,I took adderall xr until my 6 month of pregnancy no problems with bp usually around 117/79 then I stopped the meds at 6 months pregnant and as soon as I stopped I my bp was 140/90 until I had my son and and then after I had my son my bp went to 202/106. I started back on the adderall xr and after 1 month of taking it my bp came down to 128/88. I have been taking adderall xr since and my average bp is 110/78. It is my understanding that Adderall xr can lower your total body magnesium, because while on adderall magnesium levels are elevated and using up all stored magnesium. Could stopping the adderall cause high bp because magnesium levels are depleted? I just don t get it, every doctor I have talked to says adderall would never help lower bp it does the opposite....but in my case it didn t. When I ask for magnesium levels to be testeed, no doctor will order it they say it isn t an accurate test. I am planning another pregnancy, and I do not want the same problem.

Hi,

Dextroamphetamine is not for hypertension or high BP. Yes, magnesium levels can effect BP, high magnesium lowers BP. However, serum magnesium levels are to be done, causes are stress, pregnancy related complication and life style. You can check with gynecologist and medicine. Sahaj samadhi, 'Art of Living' course is a natural way to stablise BP. It takes care of above causes. You may join it online.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
