So before anyone says amything, my heart is perfectly healthy. I spent a week wearing a cardiac monitor and everything came back fine. I'm not looking for advice, I'm just curious if this happens to anybody else or if anyone knows why it's happening to me.

Anyways, I'm on immediate release adderall for ADHD. I take it 3x per day because for me it starts tappering off in effectiveness after about 4 hours for me. I've noticed that as I get close to that 4 hour mark I often start getting heart palpitations. Like I said above, I'm fine, it's purely sensory and just mildly anoying.

I know adderall can increase heartrate with it being an amphetamine and all, but it seems like that should happen as it's kicking in, not as it's wearing off. Does anyone else get heart palpitations as their meds wear off? Why is it only ever as it's wearing off?
