A member asked:
Could i get microbascular ischemia disease from taking ritalin (methylphenidate) or adderrall? will it turn into vascular dementia?

Not by itself: The amphetamine based stimulants can raise blood pressure, but the doctor prescribing and monitoring the medication can address your concern. In general, if one develops dangerously high blood pressure on medication or not is treated for the blood pressure in order not to develop microvascular disease.
