Adderall was my only savior.

You ever have heart issues with it?

Not OP, but I have been on Adderall for about a year now, and while it has made me feel insanely coked up (not necessarily my heart, but definitely my energy levels and that weird feeling you get in your fingertips) and also done a great deal of good in fixing my life (allowed me to focus on school, lose weight, stick to healthy routines) the worst side effect I get from it is erectile dysfunction, to the point where I'm now looking for a different medication.

Which makes sense. It's essentially slow-release meth, and "coke dick" is a pretty common side effect of stimulant use.

that weird feeling you get in your fingertips

I think thats due to excess energy. You tried taking less?
