Hi Link,

Fortunately all my cardiovascular parameters are in top shape (recently had a stress echocardiogram/EKG), just not when I take stims.
My doc wants me to try concerta w/ atenolol, but I'm wondering if it might be better to take it w/ Dexedrine for reasons stated in a recent post:

I just dunno. I've totally put my ADHD treatment on the backburner due to my concerns about heart effects. I am *super*sensitive to stims in this regard. Peace.
