Have you consulted your doctor? It seems those symptoms might be caused by other issues, including nerves or a heart condition.

Wow, starting out on 60mg of generic adderall is alot to begin with. I began taking adderall a year ago, and they started me on 20mg. I just now worked my way up to 40mg. of Generic Adderall, which is Dextroam. Try lowering your dosage, it will help.

There can be some numbness involved if your dosage is that high. I remember back in the days I would take those just to feel the high, and since im diagnosed with ADHD i would actually do work. So me and my buddies would take like 3-4 30mg XR each and i definitely could tell you there is some numbness involved. So as Hazelnutt said i would lower that down a lot. FYI i dont do that anymore
