common blood pressure drugs are already used to treat ADHD and in my experience they're pretty fucking bad at it compared to stimulants.
- Agreed. I used to take Guanfacine, and it helped barely.
- I've been on Amlodipine for over a year and it was no help at all towards my adhd, it also made my feet swell up at higher doses.
