Scattybird thanks for the suggestion and encouragement- my first ADHD med in 2006 was straterra and unfortunately it did not do much for me other than make me tired. I did get an email from my cardiologist this morning and he will be sending my primary Dr. a letter stating that I can remain in Adderall.
Although not specified in his email, I suspect that since my heart attack was due to a blockage rather than a heart arrhythmia, Adderall is not contraindicated.
This is a big relief because I’m going to need that laser focus on my new way of eating and sticking to it.
