“Atomoxetine also increases heart rate and diastolic blood pressure a little bit,”
This reminds me of some studies I read about weird uses for nicotine. Trials have been run where people with sleep apnea wore nicotine patches with a reduction in episodes. The theory is it keeps the brain stimulated allowing, paradoxically, people to get better sleep. Things like this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3965253/
Doctors have no desire in getting people hooked on nicotine though, even if there's a net benefit, so it's great if they're finding other medications for the task.
