This is where you go off the rails. Neurology makes a huge difference in the effect of many drugs, and there has been a tremendous amount of research backing that up. Just because you personally can't believe it doesn't mean it's not true.
He said, whatever your neurological makeup might be, Adderall is going to be unhealthy on your heart.
Adderall works primarily by switching your norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain, in all brains. From Wikipedia, norepinephrine:
"The general function of norepinephrine is to mobilize the brain and body for action. Norepinephrine release is lowest during sleep, rises during wakefulness, and reaches much higher levels during situations of stress or danger, in the so-called fight-or-flight response. In the brain, norepinephrine increases arousal and alertness, promotes vigilance, enhances formation and retrieval of memory, and focuses attention; it also increases restlessness and anxiety. In the rest of the body, norepinephrine increases heart rate and blood pressure, triggers the release of glucose from energy stores, increases blood flow to skeletal muscle, reduces blood flow to the gastrointestinal system, and inhibits voiding of the bladder and gastrointestinal motility."
Anecdotally my doctors switched me from Adderall to Armodafinil for this explicit reason. My blood pressure was pre hypertensive after taking Adderall for only a short time.
again the amount of ignorance to drugs displayed in this thread is frightening. people who have only used amphetamines for less than 10 years, or drugs at all, telling us all about them. facepalm.
