ADHD Without the Buzz: How Blood Pressure Pills Like Clonidine & Guanfacine #QuietYourMind #PalmBeachADHD doc, Mark Agresti, MD

Believe it or not, blood pressure meds like clonidine—especially the long-acting Kapvay—and guanfacine—Intuniv, not Tunev—can treat ADHD. Their unique twist? They weren’t made for brains, yet they quiet the chaos up here by acting as alpha-2 agonists, dialing down norepinephrine surges in the prefrontal cortex so focus sharpens and impulses chill out. Clonidine, think Catapres, hits broad but harder, while guanfacine’s more precise—long-acting versions last twelve to twenty-four hours, no crash like stimulants. Side effects? Drowsy starts, dry mouth, maybe low BP—nothing wild if monitored. Want real results? Dr. Mark Agresti in Palm Beach runs a boutique practice overlooking breakers—serene vibe, personalized plans, and yeah, telemedicine follows you nationwide.
