A member asked:
Adderal why is it given to brain aneurysm patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brain aneurysm: The prescribing of Adderal is unrelated to treatment of a brain aneurysm. Adderal is usually used for attention deficit disorder. It is important to monitor blood pressure when taking Adderal or any other stimulant. Aneurysms are associated with the female gender (70%), smoking and high blood pressure. Discuss the best treatment plan for your aneurysm with a cerebrovascular surgeon.
