Does anyone here use Focus Factor, Clear Focus, Focus ADDult or similar products?

Most of these supplements are highest in B vitamins--I know Focus Factor, which some of my patients like to try on their own, has what would be considered almost 8X the recommended daily adult allowance of vitamin B6.

It also has something in it called huperzine (sp?) which is a Chinese plant remedy that has been studied in patients with Alzheimer's dementia in China and is just beginning to be studied in this country.

You probably know already that just because something is "natural" or plant based does not mean it is safe or benign. (See: Foxglove, nightshade) Also, substances sold as herbs or food supplements do not undergo the same vetting from the FDA as do prescription medications, so you don't have a lot of safety information except anecdotes and the word of the seller.

I usually encourage families who are very attached to the idea of vitamin supplements to save money and effort by starting with a regular drugstore multivitamin supplement, not one sold over the Internet. Most drugstore multivitamins contain ample levels of B and other vitamins, and will not be compounded with herbs, etc.

Your hypertension does make some prescription medications for ADHD difficult, but certainly not all. Ask your doctor about medications that are not stimulants.

Wow, this is long. I guess I should have PMed you but oh well.
