So for the past 2 and a half hours or so I've been having a racing heart at about 100-110 bpm. I took intanasally 15mgs at around 7:30 then another 15mgs at 9:30 or so. And I felt the rush euphoria etc and was great started to feel very depressed (comedown?)at around the same time the racing heart started but still have lots of energy. My family on my moms side has had some heart problems although I've been checked and try believe I'm fine. I'm also very young. Although i have felt palpuations thats why i got checked but they think its just my anxiety. I'm not worried about the racing heart bec it was a small amount but i do have work very soon and its only my 3rd day lol but would it be risky to take around this much a few times a week, I know their is risk but is it very high, considering I'm young and fairly healthy but do still have a racing heart? I was using heroin for the past 6 months and I haven't used that in about 3 weeks, I'm kind of substituteing but I feel this would be safer.
 
Nothing to worry about. If you had a congenital heart disease, you would be dead. The heart could've never made it past the first Adderall dose. Use clonidine if heart racing bothers you.
 
This is a typical side effect of amphetamines, and worrying about it may make it seem worse to you than it actually is. You should be fine, but if you find it particularly uncomfortable then you should just stop taking adderall. The benefits aren't worth it if it's making you exceptionally anxious/uncomfortable.
 
That is barely even outside the normal range of a heart rate, which is 60-100. You have nothing to worry about, that is pretty much expected with adderall use. I remember when times doing cocaine with my heart rate in the upper 120 to lower 130s. Thats is a little concerning and it is no wonder that cocaine raises a person heart attack risk quite substantially. Just calm down because you can only make the palpitations worse by worrying. And from the sounds of it you are like myself, not a stimulant person. Even marijuana, which isn't really a stimulant but has some stimulant like properties for certain people, jacks my heart rate up easily above 100 beat a minute.
 
All I know is that some people wear out their heart with anger, sorrow and frustration while others wear it out with love, euphoria and pleasure. Love, euphoria and pleasure is the correct way to wear out your heart in the human instructions manual. If you felt true love and pleasure, even once, rejoice at it, for, you have not lived for nothing. People who claim they have a greater destiny and aspire to distinction and recognition, they are lying to themselves, for, their heart goes tic, tac, tic, tac, for no good reason, until one day, after growing old with big tits, it stops and they fall head first into their closed door, making a big hole. Do not break the door of your closet without feeling love at least once in your life.
 
Yeah, I didn't think it was much of a problem although doing it made me think of wanting to try cocaine. I've always been nervous of trying coke though because of the family heart problems. Marijuana like you stated does the same for me but in not ideal situations can very easily make me have panic attacks to the point that I forget what reality is entirely. Those marijuana episodes are more intense then mid level dxm trips (only done mid level) and not in a good way. Amphetamines bring an anxiousness but almost like what I experience after I started heroin and was smoking it coming down. Anxious physically and somewhat mentally but not out of reality in any way etc.

As for Ksa's comment, I'm not too sure how to reply to that haha. I understand where your coming from and believe you should experience new drugs and things but drugs have brought me much pain through mental addiction of just being high. It has gotten to a point where I'm so sick of the mental addiction that I feel I don't want to use even though I so badly do. Like I said I am very young and that is a big excuse I use to not get clean and think I will miss my party days even though most of my using has been alone and with opiates benzos etc that the average person my age wouldn't touch. Anyway I'm going on a rant, thanks for the replies.
 
You should be OK. I have had the heart rate you described in your original post when I have done intense cardio exercise, or cardio exercise for a long period of time where I started out slow and then gradually exercised faster and hit a peak/plateau for a long distance and period of time.

If you are getting major panic attacks and anxiety from certain drugs maybe you should stop using the ones that do that to you? Also ask a doctor about your cardio health and be honest about taking speed, as you will not get in trouble for it.

Yes, I agree I should stop smoking pot but I find it is the only drug acceptable besides alcohol in my town/age. If it were my choice I'd be using opiates but they have been tearing me apart from my family for a long time. Eventually I will go back to opiates but I am not going out of my way as of now to get them. Also, I had more adderall today about the same amount but at one point my heart rate had reached 120-130 which was probably because I was nervous. The only part I don't like is the comedown off of adderall is the worst I've ever experienced out of any drug, very depressing.
