Strangely, Adderall seems to lower my blood pressure (which is usually normal anyway) a bit, probably because I find it relaxing, at least in the sense that I can focus more effectively and spend less time worrying. Strattera didn't make me nervous though -- it just raised my bp and had some other odd effects. Besides, it stopped doing what it was supposed to, so I saw no reason to continue with it.
I was taking it together with Adderall; it could be that the combination had the blood pressure effects. I'm not talking hypertensive or anything, but my bp went from around 120/80 to 140+/90+, and this consistently coincided with use of Strattera.
