Default Adderall and heart conditions

Ok let me start off by saying I know i should not be taking Adderall if i do not have a prescription. I take it sometimes when I really need to get work done. So I was wondering if I should be aware of any affects Adderall has on the heart. I have a irregular heart beat and I know Adderall is a slight stimulant so it will increase my heart rate a little. Are there any serious problems that can occur if I take it once in a while?

Also I am not suppose to have caffeine because it is a stimulant, so I really do not know what I should do when I feel tired and need to study.


I know I could just ask some of the upper classmen at my Pharm School, but I would rather people did not know.


Thanks for the help ahead of time.

You're playing a dangerous game.Adderall should not be taken when someone has a heart condition.It's like pulling the handle on a slot machine.One of these days your number is going to come up and it will be game over.Start eating some high protien foods ect and do some exercising if you want to get moving.Using a drug just to get housework done just doesn't make much sense.I hope you're ok and stop taking the adderall......Dave

You don't even know what you're getting yourself into.

Adderall is evil. Trust me.
