> Hi Alley. Thank you for your reply. I'm worried about your fainting and breaking out in sweats. Did you have your blood pressure and heart rate checked? Did you tell your doctor about the fainting and sweating? I'm so glad you are doing better.
i did tell my doctor...my parents were worried as anything..my dad wakes up frequently in the middle of the night like me...were both on ambien..but still wake up...anyway..one night he found me on the kitchen floor at the crack of dawn and saw a glass of water on the counter...all i remember was comming out for the water and i guess i didnt get to get it...well they took me to the doctor the next day and i got an ekg and the only abnormalty was that my heart rate was high for a girl my age so but they said that was expected with the meds i was on..but i told them i never had felt this was with any other meds...and they told me it was normal its becuase of the stims..but i reassured them it wasnt..i had been on concerta and ritalin before..and ive been on adderall for more then a month now..and told them that i had just started the xr 60 mg...and thats when things started to click..they explained that they were going to hook me up to a holter monitor for twentyfour hours to monitor my daily routine..and told me to discontinue and go back to just 30 mgs...well i stopped fainting...but my heart was still racing whenever i walked or did anything strenuous...and not to mention light headed...anway all in all..im just playing with the adderall now because my p-doc said it makes me manic..but i do need it at times...but the celexa with the topamax works wonders...just takes time to adjust i guess you can say...as for the bloood pressure..mine was normal they said..but i dunno...my pulse is just really high...im almost 18 and its almost always 120..my dad checks it always for me..cause i feel my heart beating through my chest a lot...i have asthma but so that mitte contribute some too..but im not sure...anyway i hope this helped...and everything is well...thanks...
