Given your family heart history and personal history of high BP, a stimulant like Aderall is probably not the best idea because it will only make your heart work harder and potentially make your BP worse (even if you control it) You have cycled through a lot of meds and have the bi-polar diagnosis. Have you seen a psychiatrist for your meds. If not, this would be the next best thing to do.
