Do you have absolutely no heart side effects on Methylphenidate (conerta, ritalin)?
Hi, I'm new I'm my journey in adhd meds. I tried Concerta (slow release) and it was giving me too much side effects, like heart palpitations.
I tried some non excitant but that was even worse, apparently my body cannot properly process those.
Currently I am trying a very low dose of fast release methylphenidate. It going greate, buuuuut I am sometimes feeling something in my chest. It's not pain. But it's just a ... feeling. Sometimes it's a "fresh" feeling, sometime it's more like a tight feeling. If i breath deep it goes away for a second when i inhale. It's in the left side of my sternum.
I don't even know if it's the chest itself or actually the heart. I was wondering: does someone else has something like this? And, if you take methylphenidate, are you supposed to have absolutely zero side effects? Or is this "normal"?
