Do you have any more information about this? It would explain the challenge I've been experiencing as I enter my early 40s with a family history of hypertension; my blood pressure has been going up, which makes sense, but my ADHD has also been getting harder to manage, which doesn't.

Sorry for the late response, but I don't have any more information about it as it's mostly anecdotal based on my experience. The best explanation I have come up with is the high blood pressure lowers the amount of oxygenated blood in the brain making it harder to produce dopamine, which it is already struggling to do.

I have a similar issue. Amphetamine gives me more side effects and seems to help less these days despite being a wonder drug thru my 20s. I’ve optimized my diet and exercise regularly, half because of this, but it only goes so far. I’m running out of levers to pull.
