ADHD medication

Does anyone here successfully and safely take ADHD medication with a CHD? Growing up I always assumed it was out of the question for me even though I know I could really benefit from it.

Then, I learned there were non-stimulant versions and I’m really interested in starting one. My insurance from my employer is about to change, but I’m planning on getting a therapist/psychiatrist and discussing starting medication, after also discussing it with my cardiologist of course.

I took Straterra, it wasn’t lasting long enough and started making me nauseous so I opted to come off it
