the effects of ADHD medication on the cardiovascular system
i was prescribe reboxetine, which is a noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor (like strattera / atomoxetine, which is the most known NRI used for treatment of ADHD). in this video, you can see possible side effects of the drug (sinus arrythmia) as well as the direct effects of the drug on my heart during peak plasma levels. also, we will take a look at how my body reacts to bisoprolol, a beta blocker i was prescribed against hypertension and sinustachycardia - and i will be drinking some very strong coffee with a lot of sugar to see what this substance does. :-) i think the rather 'odd' effects of the reboxetine on my heart actually have to do with my mind. i was quite hyper and annoyed to have to lay down for 10 minutes before taking reboxetine, and afterwards, i was rather relaxed and was just idle and fine laying around on my bed. this relaxed feeling increased with the coffeine and sugar intake. so, that may have lead to the drop in heart frequency. conclusion: the drug does indeed make me calmer. but, it doesnt have any influence on concentration as of yet - i didnt edit the sound files, and you can clearly hear i sound like a broken LP at some times, grrr. same issues as usual, just unedited.
