But it would be hard to figure out how much to take. I don't want my BP to go too high. And I'd rather not be on *another* drug. On five already.

Yeah, i definitely can't do amphetimines. or really any stimulant. I used to abuse amphetamines back 20 years ago and now my body reacts completely weird if I take them - or any other stimulant. Plus - there's the fact that I have an anxiety disorder and sure don't want to make that worse. And I don't think I really need a stimulant. I feel great most of the time - lots of energy and motivation.Thanks for your response.
