adderil

Several years ago a pychiatrist put me on 40 mgs of Adderil. I started having arrythimias according to a pacemaker check. Could this medication cause all of this to happen. Plus a paid mgmt dr put me on a strong muscle relaxer years before this and my heart beat dropped to 40 beats and this caused me to have the pacemaker. I sleep walk a lot and sometimes find some of my meds are gone and this occasion sev muscle relaxers weren't in the bottle. I might be in denial and just have heart failure.

You don't have the symptoms of heart failure. With that aside, conditions or medicines that slow the passing of electrical signals through the heart but are not the result of heart damage. These conditions include:

Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland), electrolyte imbalances, such as abnormal blood levels of potassium.  .
Heart medicines, such as beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, antiarrhythmics, and digoxin can slow the heart rate.
I have not found any side effects for the symptoms you have taking adderall.

Hope this helps.  Thanks for your question and if you have any further questions you are welcome to respond.  Take care.
