    It’s fairly common sense given that most ADHD meds are powerful stimulants. Spikes in blood pressure may lead to arterial hardening or chronic hypertension. I ended up with four stents in my heart and chronic hypertension. Still, here is an article so you don’t have to take an internet stranger at their word.

    EDIT: My concern is mainly for those who have taken it since childhood, led a sedentary lifestyle, eaten a poor diet, and never track or share their BP with a primary care physician. In other words, a not insignificant percentage of ADHD patients.

    EDIT 2: I am not advocating against the meds, they can be a godsend. I am just saying that if you choose to take them, make sure to eat VERY well, excercise daily, take anti-inflammatory supplements or foods, monitor and log you blood pressure, and share your BP log with your primary care physician regularly. Also, if over 30, take a stress test every couple of years. All good things even if you aren’t on ADHD meds.



  • I live in Wyoming and I want to get a 4x4 half ton with a full bed so in the winter I can slap a hydraulic flat bed on it for two snowmobiles and a snow plow on the front. In the summer it would tow my ruggedized camper and maybe dirt bikes in the bed.

    They are super useful but “luxury” and/or urban pick-ups have given them a bad reputation.

















  • …the model 3 had a facelift in the 2024 model year, the model Y is getting it this year. The S and X are rumored to be next.

    Good to know.

    …anyone driving a particularly angy model 3 with dagger shaped taillights, a model Y with front and rear light bars, or a cybertruck should be mocked and shamed without remorse.

    The best path.
