? Can Guanfacine be taken with stimulants (d-amp)?

this might not work for motivation like d-amp, and it can be sedating; I can't find anything on combining the 2 (guanfacine + d-amp).

And I wonder if in part, anxiety leads to enhanced ADD symptoms. I always remembered reading that w/anxiety and panic, fight/flight, your blood rushes to your limbs; so wouldn't that decrease blood avail. to the brain and cause cognitive difficulties, esp. w/long term anxiety?

yeah this is given to add kids so they can sleep at night. not as much of a sleepy time drug as clonidine though.
i don't know what is ontrolling cerebral blood flow.
but part of how anxiety inhibitos attention is lc noradrenaline overactivity which activates alpha1 (and maybe beta?) receptors in the pfc
