I just was perscribed to adderall for add about a month ago and since then I have had my blood pressure taken twice, not by the doctor who perscibed me. Both times it has been high and I have never had problems before. Does it take your body time to adjust to adderall or should I be contacting my doctor?
Hello, Adderall increases BP, if your readings are persistently high then you need to decrease the dose of Adderall and if doesn't respond then need to be started on BP medicine.  But are you sure, you didn't have high BP prior to starting Adderall. You should visit the doctor.  You should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day for one week then once or twice a week. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity at least 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your lipid profile and sugars tested once.
