But we know that many of our medications, including forms of amphetamine (Adderall, Vyvanse), methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta), atomoxetine (Strattera), and bupropion (Wellbutrin) increase blood pressure and heart rate slightly in the first weeks and months of treatment. A 2022 meta-analysis of almost four million patients failed to find negative cardiac health impacts from ADHD medications. But a more recent, longer term study (2-7 years), comparing those with ADHD and cardiovascular disease to those with ADHD but no cardiovascular disease, found that ADHD medications were statistically associated with hypertension and arterial disease. Longer use, and higher doses posed the biggest risks. But the medications were not linked to arrhythmias, heart attacks, strokes, heart failure or other serious events with blood clots. Numerous headlines claimed that the new evidence showed how dangerous ADHD medications are. Although the research has important public health implications, most patients should be reassured by the low risk to any particular individual. Only 4% of the participants had a newly diagnosed cardiovascular condition arise during the years of the study. ----- Free link to my Medium Article on Stimulants and the Heart: https://medium.com/wise-well/your-med...
