I took it at night. I hadn't taken any Dex yesterday. I wanted to see what it would be like on it's own. I'm not going to take any Dex for a few days. This morning I had a half of a cup of coffee and my pulse rate is at 72. I bet that even with the Dex, that I won't need to go higher than 12.5 mg. of atenolol, which is great. It's wierd having a heart that doesn't spike up so quickly. Once my heart rate is firmly under control, I intend to go higher on the Dexedrine until I get a speeded up response and some motivation. That small amount I've tried doesn't even help me think more clearly.
I read yesterday that Lance Armstrong's resting pulse rate is 32-34. Can you imagine?k
