I have Adha and hypertension. As such I have an unused bottle of amlodapine at home. I'll take it and report back
Update: it's been 5 days and as much as I thought this medicine wouldn't do anything to help my adhd, it has. I'm on the lowest dose of amlodapine possible as such I need to talk with my Dr to see if i can increase. The only downfall is, is that it doesn't help with energy levels like sone of the stimulants do, however it definitely helps with motivation and concentration. I'll continue on until I finish tge bottle and will make a final update in 24 days. Early indications are promising though
