Adderall bumps my resting heart rate up by around 10-15 bpm, and during workouts it’s even more noticeable. If I go out for a run at what would normally feel like a zone 2 effort (on a non-Adderall day), my heart rate is reading about 20 bpm higher than it would be otherwise. So my zone 2 is basically shifted up by 20 beats when I’m medicated.

Should I even bother paying attention to heart rate zones when I’m on Adderall? Or should I just run purely by effort?

Anyone dealt with this and found a good approach? I know I should talk with my doctor but also wanted some real world experience.
