A member asked:

A year ago i overdosed on aderall. close to 3, 000mg. it made my muscles ao uncomfroterble then knocked me out for 5 days in the hospital. why ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Enormous dose: You injested an enormous dose of adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine). That gave you an extremely large Adrenalin jolt, increasing your blood pressure and raising concern about a stroke or intracranial hemorrhage and heart arrhythmia. Fortunately you survived.
