"However, my heart tends to go crazy on any dose that is effective for my symptoms."
Norepinephrine is always associated with things cardiac, NE has a lot to do with cardiac functions. All the NT's have multiple effects through out the body. Things that effect NE seem to be most effective for me & they all carry the risk of increased heart rate or blood pressure. Amphetamine did not increase heart rate or blood pressure for me, nor does/did any TCA, Remeron, or Wellbrutin. I was on Effexor for many years without problems till I went very hypertensive, like 140/105. Stopping Effexor lowered my blood pressure to normal.I would expect any amphetamine like med to cause you problems WRT things cardiac as you seem very sensitive to these effects. However it is reasonable to first try several stims and dosing schedules to see if you can tolerate them. The next reasonable step is a cardiac med to counter the cardiac side effects. I did not associate Effexor with my hypertension for 2 years and took Cozaar which worked quite well with no side effects or hypotension. I cannot say if Cozaar
is OK with Amphetamine as I stopped that as soon as I discovered my hypertension. There are a huge number a cardiac meds so it should be very likely you can find one the lowers heart rate enough without inducing hypotension.
