Adderall and High Blood Pressure | ADHD Information

Share
I have seen postings of adults taking stim meds and bp meds. In fact guanfacine and clonidine which both help with some of the ADHD symptoms are blood pressure meds. Please see your doctor. You might also test your bp at several times during the day to see if the bp is high only while meds are in your system or all of the time. This information will help you and your doctor sort out the best course of action.

I have become quiet concerned about my blood pressure. I am 43 and I have been taking adderall for little over a year.  My blood pressure has always ran kinda high - the 120's over mid 80's to low 90's.  I have never had a Dr. tell me that I should be concerned so I never worried about it.  In the last month or so I noticed I was feeling weird so I started taking my pressure on a regular basis and it has definitley been running high - 128/100. I am afraid if I go to my Dr. with this that he will take me off the Adderall, but on the other hand I am afraid if I don't then I am going to stroke out.  I read somewhere that someone people actually take ADHD meds along with HBP meds. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or had discussed this with a Dr. before.  The adderall has improved so much about my daily existence that I don't want to go back to my pre-adderall days if I don't have to. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!
