Is Intuniv Good For Controlling High BP?

default
Posted on Wed, 23 Apr 2014
Question: My daughter is 28 and has been on vyvance for 3 years. It helps a lot. Also, she has high blood pressure and takes a bistolic (sp?). She is in great shape and exercises daily. However, her internist just put her on intuniv now to go along with her vyvance, said it would help with anxiety....I so wish the Dr. would not have done this! Is this a bad idea? Thank you!
