Thanks for contacting HCM. You have not mentioned why your daughter has started adderall. if she is taking it to reduce weight then it should be discontinued immediately as it has no proven effect in reducing weight but has potential for really serious side effects and even addiction. Adderall has known side effects of causing dizziness and high blood pressure. Take her to Er get her Blood pressure checked and get her treated for dizziness and do not give her any products and medication including adderall with out consulting a doctor. regards
