Several studies also indicate it can alleviate symptoms of ADHD. Unlike most stimulants, it's primary actions do not appear to be norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake, so it has less impact on blood pressure and heart rate, and less potential for addiction or causing psychosis. ----- You can also discuss and ask questions on my Reddit page: https://www.reddit.com/r/Drjohnkruse Follow https://dockruse.medium.com on Medium for hundreds of full length articles on this subject and more!
