I was 62 when I was first diagnosed (now 64) and have been taking Adderall XR 20 mg for most of that time after starting out with a lower dose.  I have had no problems with blood pressure or any heart issues.  I also understand that the size of a person is unrelated to correct dose for most add meds.  I am a woman 5’2″ and 115 pounds.  So, billd, I’m sorry your Dr. won’t consider giving stimulate medication to anyone over 50 unless there is a pre-existing condition that could make it unwise.  My psychiatrist did ask me to see my regular Dr. to make sure the meds were not causing any problems, which I did.
