I’m certainly not qualified to comment but will anyway. 😉

I had concerns about my BP possibly rising when I started taking meds (Concerta 72 mg) since I had already been taking 2 blood pressure meds for what had seemed like forever. Well, BP meds since I was about 28 and I was 52 when diagnosed with ADHD. I take atenolol and also a diuretic.

My BP perhaps did go up a tad but it has always had minor ups and downs over the years. At each particular rise, I was able to attribute the rise to periods of extreme stress I was under each time because the BP would always slowly fall back down to an acceptable level when the stressors disappeared.

Have you got a good pharmacist? Sometimes they are great at finding out that kind of info for you get conflicting info from your MDs.
