What Causes Light Headedness And Anxiety Attacks On Taking Adderall?
Hi my name is Adam 36yo 196 athletic build. I have hypertension that is controlled and have ADD. Ive been prescribed Adderall 10 mg x 3/ day. I have been taking Adderall for a week (skipping days) and only taking from 2.5 to 5 mg X 2 a day. Today I took my second dose which was only 2.5mg and 2 hours later started feeling light headedness on right side of head and face and some discomfort in legs. I thought it was an anxiety attack, went home and checked my blood pressure and it was only 118/88. What could it of been and is Adderall known to give this kind of symptom and with a very low dosage? Could this be normal and I should just get used to it?

I recommend continue taking Adderall and increase the dose very slowly. These adverse effects will become better tolerated after some time. Hope you will find this answer helpful!
