No, Link, but there's a catch....I'm on a beta blocker. I started atenolol for HTN long before any ADD or depression dxs. Which if I recall the mechanics of action a little bit (haven't thought about it for a while) keeps my HR from rising as it could/would "normally." So would it be possible, but not likely, to get tacky while on a beta blocker? I'm not sure.
Yeah, I've wondered from reading here what might occur w/HR if I ever lose weight, etc. enough to stop HTN meds. Not to mention how effective the atenolol was/is with the physical symptoms of anxiety.
