Greetings!
I did quite a lot of research on subject of stimulants and beta-blockers and I know that doing coke (and other stims) while being on beta-blockers is a no-no, because of unopposed alpha stimulation. But this theory was crafted (and is questioned by some) in the era of early generation beta-blockers, like Propranolol, which were non-selective and inferior to what is out there on the market right now.
So, does the same rule apply to modern, highly selective beta-blockers, like Bystolic (Nebivolol)?
I'm on 2,5mg/day of Nebivolol (not Bystolic itself, but a drug with Nebivolol under the hood) because my blood pressure was floating between prehypertension and stage 1 hypertension. After 2 months of Nebivolol now it's floating between normal and prehypertension (never exceeding 140/90) and I was wondering how much of a risk I'd put myself in when going on a one night coke binge once/twice a year?
