"do not take adderall if high blood pressure runs in your family. be especially careful not to take it if you have high blood pressure already. i had normal blood pressure until i started taking adderall. ever since, my blood pressure has been at least 130/80, and i have measured it at 162/88 while on the drug. i am a 20 year old male, and my dad has hypertension, which is where this incredible susceptibility comes from. i stopped taking it but i still have high readings, which only started when i began taking adderall. do yourself a big favor and harangue your doctors about adderall if you or your family has a history of high blood pressure. you don&#039;t want to end up on bp meds."
