Peter, just so you know Adderall contains a recemic mixure of amphetamine. It has both dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine. I have read and heard that the latter is responsible for the adverse cardiovascular effects.
Dexedrine, on the other hand, contains only dextroamphetamine.
Side-effects should improve in a matter of 1-2 weeks. Also, the medication will work better as your body adjusts. It took me about 2-4 weeks to gain the real benefit of Adderall. You have to give it a chance to work.
