So I'm ADD, not on a med specifically for ADD, but started atenolol, a beta blocker for high BP caused by overactive sympathetic nervous system....I don't think it helps with the ADD per se, but I've noticed a few things have improved. For example I'm much less irritable, social phobia is a bit better, less self conscious, and feel less "driven".... maybe its all just placebo effect.
Anyone else have anything like this with a beta blocker?
Many people find good esults using beta blockers. There is an entire thread about Tenex[guanfacine].
Here we use it in conjunction with adhd meds.
i took then for anxiety.
