Adderall And Paranoia
Paranoia and Adderall?
I have recently been prescribed adderall, I am a college junior, 5’6 140 lbs taking 40 mg adderall a day.
Prior to adderall, I was a very social person, didn’t care at all what others thought of me.
Now I am just totally insecure, socially awkward, and paranoid about stupid social situations. I can’t interpret whether or not someone is serious anymore, and I’m misinterpreting things even my close friends say and I feel like it’s a direct attack on me.
I’m not asking for any help, rather if anyone has been prescribed adderall and have similar situations where you’ve become more paranoid and socially awkward, please share.
Being on Adderall works your heart OT daily and there is often hypertension as a byproduct. Your blood pressure naturally rises. I would advise you to lower your dosage and avoid stimulants with caffeine and try your best to keep your diet up regardless of having no appetite. Make sure to go in for your scheduled EKG’s.
Try not skip pills either, your body becomes very unstable on adderall but will balance itself in time. If the cons outweighs the pros maybe go off it all together. Give it some time and remember you haven’t changed at all, if anything you’re closer to an answer.
