This could be a good new option for those with ADHD who are currently on meds for it.

I’ve taken Amlodipine in the past, and while it was effective at controlling blood pressure it basically turned me into a zombie. I didn’t feel like doing anything while taking it. I don’t see how that could help with ADHD.
