“Try Intuniv”???
Why on earth would you try a drug that isn’t approved for treating ADHD, but only “seems to work” on it, when there are so many drugs which are actually APPROVED for treating ADHD? That approval means that the drug has been subjected to proper, scientific, double-blind studies, over at least several years, and has found to be far more effective than a placebo, at treating the condition it was intended for.
If a stimulant med raises your blood pressure, it’s much easier & safer to just add a small dose of a blood pressure medication to your regimen, than to rule out all the approved meds that happen to be stimulants.
