SVT and ADHD Meds? Post ablation.

Help

Hi! I'm 35F, I was diagnosed with AVNRT in October last year. I would have many episodes of high heart rate and syncope. I noticed it as early as 18, but it got worse a couple years ago. When I was diagnosed I stopped my ADHD medication (Strattera). I hate being off my meds, but I know it made my SVT worse. I had my ablation in October as well, and was told the AVNRT was fixed but that I had an irritable heart and areas on the outside of my heart that were causing issues. Was anyone able to resume taking ADHD meds after their ablation? Or resume drinking coffee/alcohol responsibly? I now feel I just have to live with this and restrict myself for the rest of my life.
