Anyone have a good monograph that explains this?
Reason I am inquiring: stimulant + beta blocker therapy for anxious patients with ADD/ADHD, narcolepsy. Purely for self-interest.
- Yes I have looked for good resources online
- Yes I have talked with physicians but did not receive a very good/in-depth answer.
Seems in normotensive patients that the combo of amphetamine stimulants and low-dose beta blockers do not cause this problem and I've encountered several patients on the combo of Vyvanse/Adderall XR and beta blockers. I am just not well educated on the issue, and I know from my own education that beta blockers are never used in amphetamine overdose (although I have heard of labetolol being used owing to its alpha activity).
Yes I am a medical student posting on the pharmacy boards, please help point me to a good resource or lets have a discussion. Thank you for your valuable time.
