So I finally got diagnosed with ADHD (apparently I actually bombed the MOXO if you saw my previous post). I started 10mg IR adderall on Tuesday. Firstly it has been life changing so far but if I start writing about that this will become a novel.
The main thing I’m wondering about is that I have also noticed that about 1 hour after I take a pill I get a bit of a headache and my upper back and shoulders ache. It isn’t bad, it’s just enough to be annoying. I’ve been paying special attention to make sure I’m still eating, sleeping, and drinking enough so I know the achiness isn’t linked to any of that. Did anyone else get this sideeffect, does it eventually go away, and if so how long did it take for you?
Are you tensing up at all? Stimulants can do that. Also, were blood pressure and heartrate OK?
My heartrate is normal. I havent had a chance to check BP yet so I’ll look into that. I guess I could be tensing up but if I am I haven’t particularly noticed it. I will try to pay attention to that though.
I would sometimes clinch my jaw (I do that when not on stimulants anyway, but it’s worse on them) which seemed to be connected (though I can’t prove that). Trying to be conscious of and relax when I noticed it seemed to help.
