I need to switch off Aderrall for my blood pressure but I don't know what else to take
Hey everyone! First time posting on this subreddit. Bear with me.
Backstory: I recently turned 30 and I've taken Aderrall since I was about 22. I take 20mg XR in the AM and have 10 mg regular tablets to take as prn in the afternoon/evening for up to 15mg. I have been steady on this dosage for about seven years and wouldn't dream of changing it but I am genuinely concerned that Aderrall might be gradually raising my blood pressure beyond a healthy range. I am planning to check my bp frequently over the next month to track it before going to my psychiatrist but I'm pretty convinced that the meds have affected my blood pressure. I don't want to change - Aderrall has worked well for me and I'm used to it - but I may have to do this for my longterm health.
I was wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation and what they ended up doing? I am really not looking forward to adjusting to new meds that might not even work especially since I've always heard that none of the non stimulants work as well. Any advice/personal experiences/feedback would be super appreciated
