This could be a good new option for those with ADHD who are currently on meds for it.

    I wonder if an alpha blocker or direct vasodilator might work better for you if you haven’t tried them yet. Or an alpha blocker like prazosin on top of a beta blocker.

      Not sure!

      I have insane PVCs that have so far made other classes less attractive. Even when I’m well-medicated with my atenolol I still get the “anxiety” feeling as my heart valve leaks. Unmedicated I feel like I can’t breathe at all, which is awful. And my BP then goes into the 200/100 range (I am not exaggerating, I wish I was).

      My liver basically can’t metabolize CYP2B6 or CYP2D6 mediated drugs, so anything believed to be carried into the body by those will screw me up so badly I often won’t even try. (I’ve nearly ended up in the ER several times now trying 75% of the anti-depressants out there, which I needed badly once I realized my ADHD an fribromyalgia would never be medicated. As an example. ;)
