[arianabee123]

I know someone that I care about dearly who takes 25 mg of Adderall a day for ADD. The other night she was taking pills like candy and going insane with them and just swallowing them. She has about 280 -300 mg of adderall in her system right now at this moment. She took the 280-300mg of adderall all in the past 24 hours and she is acting like she is on speed. She is 120 pounds and is about 5'4''. Could you please tell me if she needs call a poison control right away? Can she die? I am soooo worried about her!! What are some effects that could possibly happen? What should I do? What are the worst things that could happen? Please answer it as soon as possible because it may be too late to do anything about it later. I need help please, I am so worried about her. Thanks!

What if she is not overdosing anymore?? But still taking her normal dosage . I am so scared. Do you have AOL instant messenger. I really need to talk to someone who knows what they are talkinga bout . Does milk really help?!

Take her to emergency room asap.

Your friend is causing some serious damage to her heart.  Is her heart beating very rapidly?  An excessive amount of stimulants are known to cause atrial fibrillation, which can result in a heart attack or stroke.  Last summer, I began binging on Adderall on the weekends, and now I regularly have chest pains and pains in my left arm every time I take even a small dose of Adderall.  If she starts having some serious symptoms, get her to the emergency room immediately.  Until then, have her drink plenty of milk and do call the poison control center!
