I've been on Adderall for almost 30 years, and I'm not seeing any heart issues.

  Hi! I'm glad you're doing well on your medication. Can I ask, what have you done to make any possible issues visible? I've heard a few scary stories from people about long-term adderall usage weakening their heart muscle but they are/were not particularly healthy individuals

    I'm not sure how treatment plans vary, but I'm required to have medication checkups with a doctor every 3 months and a yearly EKG & blood panel.

    Well.... I'm not dead (yet). I have monthly check ups. They take my pulse, blood pressure, and weight. I've noticed improvements when I changed my diet (the nurse said "wow" when she checked my pressure). I had an EKG 10 years ago, when I switched to this Dr. I have an (almost) annual physical. I'm not really sure which of those is enough to give you comfort - more than anything, I wanted to give a counter story to the "scary stories"
