Adderal Hypertension: Yes, Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) causes the symptoms you described. Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) is a stimulant. It's an Amphetamine and is a "cousin" to Methamphetamine. It's Speed. Amphetamines act like Adrenalin and rev-up your body. It's like, if you were attacked by a Bear-the Fight or Flight response. The higher the dose, the more that effect can and will occur. Anyone could have a Heart Attack, if enough Amphetamines are taken.
