Same for me on the psyche side - I hated seeing HR at 95 at rest even though I didn't 'feel' it, hence wanting to reduce it if possible.It's likely a psychological thing for me due to having been a competitive runner that wore my RHR as a badge of honor (37-41 at the time), but anything that makes my HR go up too much it's hard for me to stomach for too long.
Ran retatrutide during a cut and just hated the HR increase, was 15-20BPM for me and even after settling down was still 12-17. Eventually just dropped it as I hated that.
Next time I start running something that increase HR I'll give Ivabradine the old college try and report back with my own findings to double our currently tiny sample size!
There's no doubt Iva is powerful and did the job, it probably just needs testing with less variables like I had going on.
When I start on my next cycle, I'll re-introduce it if HR goes high and use it at perhaps a 1x 2.5mg dose in the evening alongside 5mg nebivolol for BP. I definitely want to give it another go when less things are going on.
