In reply to stimulant + beta blocker-could anyone please share, posted by saturn on June 26, 2006, at 23:17:16
I used to take Prozac + Ritalin + atenolol (temorin) with no problems. Prozac was rx'd first for depression - helped a lot, then added the MPH after dx of ADD (combo very helpful) and the beta blocker was prescribed by different doc for hypertension. But, since I had frequent episodes of anxiety along with the depression, the way it slowed the heart rate, etc. was a blessing in making it virtually impossible for my body to experience those physical manifestations of anxiety - racing pulse, feeling my heart pound, etc.
It was miraculous, really, the way those things disappeared overnight. I still take atenolol (100 mg. a day) for HBP, but take Strattera for the ADD .
