Anyone have any weird effects from Adderall? I've taken the stuff periodically throughout the years.

But recently I got a script, however when I take them I get light-headed, sometimes brain-zaps, and sometimes randomly angry as hell - just hulk angry for no reason.

Anyone else get light-headed from it?
 
Eat more. Low blood sugar can make you light headed and pissed off and amphetamine speeds your metabolism up quite nicely.
 
Get bloated an hour or 2 before or doing it and it will be orgasmic with minimal side effects. People have trouble understanding how this works for some reason, so many people have a bad time when food is the key to fulfillment.
 
Feeling light headed is a pretty common side effect from drugs that causes vasoconstriction isnt it?

But I´v read somewhere that vasodilators can cause lightheadedness too, due to the lowering of blood pressure.
Anyone who would care to explain how this can be the case? It seems illogical to me that lightheadness can be a symptom of both vasodilation and constriction, but then again, I dont understand the bio mechanisms behind this.

Have you read the prescribing information for Adderall / mixed amphetamine salts? Lightheadedness is one of the top listed frequently reported side effects especially if you're taking more than you should be, or otherwise are neglecting your health while on the speed.
 
Is this a lasting effect?

Can you clarify what you mean by that? As far as I know amphetamines tendency to raise basal metabolic rate is only temporary and wears off when you stop taking the drug.
 
i got a script of addy and abused it and im fairly healthy. i was having foggy vision, felt like i was gonna pass out, coulnt eat or drink . went ton the hospitial and got fluids and felt much better. i went to my primary doc and she tested my BP 3 times and it was extremly low but when i went to the ER and got fluids it went from about 70/59 back to 130/90 and all it took was fluids. youre dehydrated, drink water or go get fluids at the ER.
 
Yeah but I'm talking even if I take LESS than the prescribed dose

Prescribed doses mean nothing. Just because you take below your prescribed dose, doesn't mean there won't be side-effects to the medication you're taking.

It's imperative to remember one thing about being prescribed medications... THESE ARE DRUGS you're swallowing! They're not tick-tacks; they're not M&M's - they're drugs! It doesn't matter if the dosage is 1 microgram or 1000 grams - it's still going to do what it's designed to do - be a drug. It will alter your body no matter how low of a dose you take.

I've been an prescribed Amphetamine for a long time now, and I can say with 100% certainty that you're (probably) very hungry right now, and very dehydrated. I know it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to eat while taking Adderall - but you have to force ANYTHING down your throat. You have to! Or else you'll suffer the consequences (chest pain, headache, achy muscles, hurting stomach, etc.)

Adderall especially since it's an appetite suppressant - could cause drug-induced hepatitis if you take a lot and don't eat or drink. This is a life-threatening condition and a dead give-away that it's happening is if your skin and eyes are turning yellow. If this happens seek emergency medical attention immediately.
 
Have you tried eating first yet? I'm telling you that is why. It only gives me side effects, regardless of dose, if I take it on an empty stomach.
