Stimulant survey - please participate

Posted by ed_uk on November 19, 2005, at 22:33:31

Traditional stimulants such as methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta) and the amphetamines (Adderall, Dexedrine) can constrict blood vessels, increase heart rate and elevate blood pressure. Hypertension is a major risk factor for CVA (stroke), myocardial infarction (heart attack) and kidney failure.

To those of you who take stimulants.......

How regularly does your doctor monitor your blood pressure?

What was your BP before you started stimulant treatment?

What is your BP now?

Do you require anti-hypertensive medication? What do you take?

Thank you for participating!
