> Here, clonidine (a2 agonist -- ie anti-adrenergic) is used in conjunction with methylphenidate in ADHD in order to reduce the side effects of methylphenidate. That's probably similar to what I hope to do with piribedil.


OK, but then you don't get any of the benefits of noradrenergics either, right? I do want the help with drive/motivation.


> Beta-blockers, though, there are some concerns that using those in conjunction with stimulants could cause dangerous hypertension related to the unblocked alpha activity.


I never realized that could be a problem. Would it still be a problem if the beta-blocker were more cardio-specific (such as atenolol)?


> Do I think constant norepinephrine/epinephrine stimulation has potentially some serious drawbacks? Yes, definitely, especially for Me.


Definitely some drawbacks but also some benefits, no?
