Thanks for the heads-up. Part of me isn't too surprised given how long some side-effects lists can get, but for the most part it didn't occur to me that my taste getting funked up was potentially in the cards.

I've been on Adderall for maybe eight-so months now. It hasn't perfectly resolved my challenges, but things have been much better compared to taking nothing. My psych recently asked that I start taking my blood pressure to send that in, and it looks like it's elevated. I'm doing what I can to bring it down, but given my understanding, I won't see results until later. I think I'll be okay if I'm put on a different medication, but I'll admit it's not fun to think about.
