> > This thread has been very helpful. I have stopped taking my Adderall XR 20mg for about 3 weeks now. I have seen a big jump in my blood pressure to 152/94 when before the medicine I was a solid 120/80. But the jump happened when I was on the drug, and now continues still. Strictly pertaining to the phsiological symptoms, how long should it take for the body to normalize after discontinuing the drug?

This is the first day I feel even remotely normal (except for being depressed). My blood pressure would occasionally run high during the 3 years or so I was on the drug, but has been in the 120/80 range the past 2 weeks.
