[|Human|] I have been taking Adderall for several months and it is just recently that my pulse has gone up. I just changed the dosage around a bit from taking 20mg XR in the morning and 15mg IR in the afternoon, to taking 25mg XR in the morning and 10mg IR in the afternoon. I have also increased my exercise regime from 4 days to 5 days. Normally, my pulse has been between 76-80 on or off the adderall. Now, it is between 85 and 95. Do you think I just need to adjust to my new medication switch? I m not taking any more than I was before, just at different times.
[|AI|]  Hello knflesheAdderall is a stimulant Chat Doctor.  It increases heart rate and over all cardiac output. So the increase in heart rate in you is due to increase in dose in morning as previously you were taking 20 mg extended release which is long acting and now its 25 mg, so due to this dose adjustment HR has increased. As immediate release dose has nothing to do much because its short-acting only and its decrease just will not affect much. Hope I solved your query. Thanks Take care
