Hi. I am a 24 year old female. I have been a adderal abuser and some times concerts for almost two years. I was told I may have ADD from several doctors and have since I was little. I am completely addicted. I am really little as well. I weigh just over a hundred pounds.. my heart is just pounding right now. I took a 54 mg concerta at eight yesterday morning and broke a little more up at nine last night. Feel like crap. I know its bad. I have tried to stop. Am I killing myself? My heart is at about 120 resting.
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Your symptoms are related to Concert. You should know that this substance stimulates the central nervous system, by causing increased heart rate and blood pressure. But, if you abuse with the substance, it may cause permanent damage to your heart. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your prescribing doctor and discussing this issue and the possible treatment solutions. Regarding your heart, I would recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound and a resting ECG, just to be sure that everything is OK. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,
