Too sensitive for meds??

My psychiatrist tells me I have a very sensitive central nervous system. I’ve tried Ritalin, Concerta, Wellbutrine, and Desipramine and in each case, I end up with an elevated blood pressure and heart rate. Just before I started tapering off the Desipramine, the blood donation clinic measured my HR at 110.

A while ago, after being on Concerta for a couple of months, the stress of a toothache induced heart palpitations. I ended up in the hospital but a full heart workup revealed no problems.

Maybe it’s anxiety, but aside from these symptoms, I don’t feel anxious.

Is there a medication that will work for me? Or, should I give up and focus on non-medical treatments for my ADD?

Thanks.
