Catapres for ADHD?

Postby Cloud09 » Sat Jul 10, 2010 6:40 am

Hey everyone. I take Catapres for my ADHD. Does anyone else on here take this for it? It is actually a blood pressure medication from what I understand but it can also help with ADHD. My previous psychiatrist put me on it and my current psychiatrist decided to keep me on it. Is this a common treatment for ADHD in adults?

Wow that's one I haven't heard of for ADHD! I've known of it being for blood pressure as well. I take Adderall. It has worked wonders! I also started Wellbutrin this past winter for sluggishness/lethargy. It has the added benefit of also helping with concentration :)
Normal is overrated :D
