If you don't mind, I'd like to pick your brain. My son who has ADD has been using Dex since age 9, he is now 19. We just got back from seeing my internist (he's in from college) because his blood pressure has been running high normal to high (mid 130-'s to high 130's sometimes low 140's over mid 70's to high 80's). The doc says this is a result of his 10 years of stimulant use and recommends a change in medication. My son has an appt. with his pdoc in a few weeks (he never took his b/p). Do you happen to know if Straterra avoids this type of internal stimulation or is it basically doing the same thing?
Thanks
