After taking Adderall for three months I found it was no longer having the same effect. I was also getting palpitations, and my blood pressure was increasing. In fact my ADHD symptoms were even worse. It now appears that I was magnesium deficient. Two months of Mg supplements, switching to drinking hard water, diet changes, and taking a high B6 multivitamin have made all the difference. Even so, my blood serum Mg is only just at the bottom of the normal range.
I believe I had been Mg deficient before; I had started to suffer some pseudogout after being on a diuretic for hypertension. I have read that stimulants do cause the body to use up more Mg.
