Adderall and Blood Pressure, Help! ?

Question by arden c: Adderall and Blood Pressure, help! ?
Hi, I am a 22 year old college student attempting to graduate in May 2009. I have been consistently taking adderall most every week day since I was in 9th grade, so almost 10 years. I am prescribed 70 mgs a day but do not always take that much. My blood pressure has always been high and also runs in my family. My doctor recently stopped filling my adderall because of my blood pressure which was consistently 150/115. I bought a heart rate monitor and have not taken any adderall since Friday and it is now almost Tuesday. My blood pressure has not changed. I also however have been sleeping for the past 3 days, not exercised, not done any homework, and basically cannot keep living like this. Will my doctor let me have my prescription back once she sees it isn’t the adderall that causes my blood pressure to be high? Its really stressing me out, which also isn’t good for the blood pressure! I don’t know how else to find answers and I found this forum. Please write back, any information/advice would be helpful. Thanks a lot.

If the medicine wasn’t causing it, maybe u need to see about getting a different type of that medicine along with a blood pressure medicine. Do you think u need the adderall any more? Talk to your doctor. Maybe she can prescribe you something different.
