Hello everyone, I am new, so forgive if I err in my post in anyway.
I am a 23 year old male who was diagnosed with hypertension about 4 years ago. Also, I was diagnosed with ADHD about 5 or 6 years ago. I am still in school, graduate school, and therefore must be on my ADHD meds. I realize some would think the hypertension could be resulting from the ADHD meds, but that is not the case.
Currently I take 200mg of Toprol a day as well as 30mg of Adderall XR a day.
When I take both of these meds, I have extremely cold fingers and toes/feet all day. It's pretty miserable. I am fairly convinced it is the Toprol. Because it still happens when I take the Toprol, but no the Adderall. It is just worse when I take them both. I cannot change my ADHD meds, because I have tried about all of them and Adderall is all that works. Therefore, I must switch my hypertension meds. I have tried Diovan, and it didn't work very well. It helped a little, but it did not correct the high BP very well.
Has anyone heard of Toprol causing this? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you so much.
