Concerned I suffered a TIA from Adderall(adderrall) overdose
by ConcernedandWorried83, Oct 08, 2009 11:02PM
I'm getting pretty concerned I may have suffered a TIA the other night after an unusually large amont of adderall (adderrall) I had taken that day. I had consumed a 20mg XR at approx 7am, another 20mg XR at approx 6pm and at around 2am, took another 20 intending to continue studying through the night.
Shortly after feeling the onset, my right hand and forearm began to tingle a bit, followed a couple hours later by my right foot. I became very concerned and purged the contents of my stomach to prevent the rest of the XR from releasing.
Over the course of the next couple hours the tingling persisted, as well as did a racing and sometimes uneven heartbeat it felt like.
I drove myself to the ER, where I was admitted upon holding a heart rate between 125bpm and 150bpm and BP of 137/74. An ECG was administered and a CBC was done. Ultimately the doctor saw fit to simply give me a dose of Ativan intraveneously to calm my heart and I was released several hours later.
About 48 hours later the tingling in my foot returned, as did a small measure of light headedness. I am concerned I may have suffered a TIA, as a result of these symptoms though, I was on the tail end of an extended study binge, with poor nutrition, and not a whole hell of a lot of sleep.
SHould I follow up for more tests, or rest assured that was the end?

Maybe the combination of prolonged adderall (adderrall) use and sleep deprivation and possibly a lack of food made a really good combination for some unwanted reactions. I don't know if this was an episode of TIA or just a combination of side effects. Could it be a passing blood clot?
I didn't have trouble speaking, or walking, nor did I have a headache.
I have been taking adderall (adderrall) recreationaly for about 2 years about once a week. That time I had taken 40mg IR which is more then what I would usually take.
