Ketamine and ADHD Medications
Stimulants and ketamine can be combined \u2014 with attention to cardiovascular monitoring.
Stimulants
Methylphenidate and amphetamine-based stimulants acutely raise BP and HR. Combined with ketamine, this can compound cardiovascular load. Many clinics ask patients to skip the morning dose on session day.
Non-stimulants
Atomoxetine, guanfacine, and clonidine are typically continued without modification.
