It is not like that every one faces problem using them
A lot people go smooth way but many people face problem.
Severe reaction means reaction to combination of both drugs like rashes, vomitings, fall in BP, rise in pottasium levels causing arrhythmias, increase in heart rate, drowsiness.
Why do you want to take Amphetamines?
How much is your BP?

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
This blood pressure is extremely high. You can get stroke with such high BP.
And you will be bed ridden. What is the point of doing such addictions.
You have to stop that and you need to be started on BP medicines that would be decided by your doctor based on clinical examination.
