Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for your query.

There are many side-effects of ADDERRALL (Amphetamaine). Some of them are
fast, pounding, or uneven heartbeats; feeling light-headed, fainting; increased blood pressure (severe headache, blurred vision, trouble concentrating.

You may consult your doctor on the review of the dose of ADDERRALL

Get your Blood Pressure checked immediately. If Blood Pressure is high you may get an Electrogradiography (ECG) done.

For the above two tests you have to reach an ER.

Till then, you may tame some sweet liquid which has very little salt.Drink good amount of water.

Hope this answers your query.I am available for follow ups.
