> I take Concerta on a daily basis and have tried to take Adderall in place but hypertension prevents me (go from 120/74 to 138/88) When I next see my physician I would like to explore exactly the mix you describe. Of course increasing one means decreasing the other. The goal would be to see if he greater efficacy of Adderall could be achieved w/o the hypertension.
What is the total daily amount of methylphenidate (Concerta) that you take? Since you have taken BP readings while on Adderall, I'm assuming you have done so on Concerta as well. If 120/74 is your baseline BP, how much is affected by Concerta (if at all)? Finally, what was the dose of Adderall you were taking, and was it IR or XR?
