I was reading about it in Wikipedia, and it seemed very promising:
- Non-stimulant, noradrenaline-only selective action
- Lowers blood pressure
- Used to treat anxiety and trauma (PTSD / CPTSD)
I am mostly under-motived / unfocused, and don’t have as many symptoms of restlessness. Anxiety: check, trauma: check, high blood pressure: check.
What were your experiences with it? What was good about it and why? What was bad and why?
Thank you!
Both guanfacine and clonidine did nothing but cause a rapid heart rate, slightly lower blood pressure (I already take other medications for my BP so that’s covered) and make me have to pee six or more times every night. It wasn’t for me - I get along much better with my Adderall XR with smaller dose of Adderall XR (we have no Adderall IR in Canada and doctors here are not keen to prescribe IR dextroamphetamine) in the afternoon.
