He had me wait like 15mins and then it was back to normal. I don't have high BP -- but when I went to the doc -- he said it was high -- and that is when he had me sit for 15mins.

I"m vegan -- but my dad died of heart disease/heart failure and def stressed due to building new home working with contractors and such.

Do you think I should try Modafinil?
Yea try another stimulant and see what works for you.

There are different types of ADHD. I have ADHD - PI --- Inattentive/Low-Energy. I can do meditation and do breathing exercises -- it will still not help me that much.

I do yoga almost daily. I exercise 4-5 times a week in addition to daily Yoga. It still doesn't help with energy and inattentiveness.

I am a self-employed/business owner -- so it's pretty important for me to be on point about both of those issues.

How long do you meditate regularly? Have you ever considered doing Vipassana? It will be one of the hardest things you'll ever do but it may help you in your situation.

You do not want to rely on stimulants and medicine your entire life. Most of the problems we face stem from cravings and aversion. Understand that your mind is wild a beast that can be eventually tamed.

So, my doc wants me to try Zenzedi® (dextroamphetamine sulfate, USP). I also have ordered some of the herbs mentioned in the thread.

Thanks everybody!

I second the recommendations for modafinil if cardiovascular issues and high blood pressure remain concerns, as it's not a traditional stimulant, so it shouldn't bring your heart rate or BP up (directly at least, of course it may indirectly if it makes you panicky). I believe ADHD is off label use for modafinil though, but Costco generics are cheap, I think.
