Adderall side effect confused!!!

im new so if im in wrong place sorry bear with me please. Many doctors have different ideas on what my problem is i gotten to the point i only use medicine  that i think works because of side effects.  iv been on Valium forever it stops my paranoia some of my anxiety and insomnia and vertigo  too much benzo has paradoxical effect.  I just started Adderall 20mds XR First day was bad i figured cause my anxiety. So next day didn't have half the problems but one really scares me on Adderall im so dizzy if im not laying down i can only walk to the bathroom and the whole room spins so im bed ridden thats what worries me i also get cold on an off really really tired bad headaches an some heart burn. lastnight and today i had chest pain. are these severe side effects should i keep taking it or stop i suffer from minor vertigo before adderall and my pulse and bp is alway up and down but no doctor shows concern and rigjt now i can teach any my docs. Does it sound safe to continue?  the positive of adderall beside physical probs i feel calm my thoughts stopped racing but i get alil out my mind from being groggy and again since i cant walk cause the sever vertigo i have truble drinking fluids. by morning im 100% fine. Sorry if my message jumps around please some advice thats the only meds om 23 5ft 230 or so pounds not in best health obviously i know i been psysically ill but doctors are confused with it like my Psychiatrist

thankyou for you're response unfortunately my pharmacy (RiteAid ) cant answer nothing thats not on my bottle / packet. once I asked them a question about why a orange 5 mil Valium made me feel out of it but a 5mil yellow was mote relaxing.  Both were same mil and the lady said she never seen a orange Valium (i got at hospital ) and that she cant answer? s n she dosnt know to read my packet very rudely (and ive read them packets 50mil times) and  to ask my doctor. But my doctors suck one said condoms were only 30% effective done right and all my heath classes and reading says other. When i ask Psychiatrist he says everything anxiety once you're labeled anxiety no one believes you're symptoms  unless doctor said otherwise but again was in hospital for 180 heart rate and got yelled at for wasting time saying its anxiety but another doc said anxiety cant put you're heart to almost 200bpm and i cant see many docs on my insurance.

Hi, and welcome to the Anxiety forum.You're in the right place.
All meds can have possible side effects. Most times it takes a couple of weeks or so for are bodies to get used to these meds and for the side effects to go away. I'm sorry to can't get in touch with your Dr right now but you can call your pharmacy and ask what the side effects are. Mine has helped me out many times with my meds when I could'nt reach my Dr.
