Common Questions and Answers about Ritalin heart attack

ritalin

Avatar n tn My name is Justin and I'm 20 years old. For my entire conscious life I could drink an infinite amount of coffee or energy drinks with out feeling anything more than a slight buzz. Nothing uncomfortable about it, ever. I would literally joke about it stating how I could drink a gallon of coffee or multiple large size red bulls and easily go to sleep right after. Now to my problem...
Avatar f tn I I started developing PVCs when I was pregnant 2 years ago. I've been to 2 cardiologists and had 2 echos and multiple EKGs. I was assured that my heart was structurally sound and the PVCs were annoying but not dangerous. I felt okay with this answer and even though they bothered me, they didn't bother me as much after I saw 2 different cardiologists and got the same answer. Recently I have been put on Wellbutrin and Ritalin for my depression by my psychiatrist.
Avatar f tn Thank you for answering! The pain started this morning and I just assumed I had slept on my arm wrong. It felt just like the muscle soreness I have the day after an intense workout. Then this evening when I was making dinner my arm started to feel numb, its weird since it is only my left arm that is in pain. I could still control my arm, the numbness is still going on, its lasted a few hours. The last time I worked out was 2 days ago and the soreness from that had already gone away.
Avatar f tn t tell the difference between heart palpatations from withdrawals and an actualy heart attack. You could die. My thoughts are with you!

1497278 tn?1289708073 Ritalin still exists???? Ritalin was basically banned from pharmacies in Puerto Rico!! Ritalin is a very dangerous drug, it causes damages to the nervous system, it makes your body retain water and it makes people to have nervous tics.
Avatar f tn Ritalin is a steroid, it will cause your heart to race. Caffeine should be avoided and also Green teas, even if they are Caffeine free. Odd though! Do you have an anxiety disorder as well? Or is it just depression? Curious because that is a horrible idea to put someone with Anxiety on a stimulant.

Avatar f tn Thanks for the great suggestion. We'll add the following to the sleep tracker: Symptoms: cataplexy, hypersomnia, sleep attack, hallucinations Treatments: Ritalin, Dextroamephetamine, Provigil Events: MSL and Sleep lab study Unfortunately scheduled nap times are a bit difficult to add at the moment. We'll keep this on the list for future enhancements. We'll let you know when these items are added to the tracker. Thanks again!
Avatar m tn For the past 30 years (I'm 53), my doctor had been treating me for "excessive daytime sleepiness" that was so bad that it was ruining my life; after a 2 night sleep/daytime nap study at a major university, the results were still "disorder or excessive sleepiness" or "similar to sleep-attack narcolepsy, but not REM-onset". No drug other than the stimulant ritalin helped, so I took that for almost 30 years and all was well.
1316190 tn?1274077342 My skin gets prickly and I break into a cold sweat, my heart is racing and breathing is heavily labored. Without the ability to manage my body and my breathing I put my body functions on the back burner and collapse to focus on breathing. My thoughts are; if I lose consciousness I will not be about to force my body to breathe and I will stop breathing. I crawled to the couch and laid flat on the cold surface.
1218579 tn?1267638816 Wow it only took 2 ER visits and a buch af changing meds over and over, severe heart rate led to tremors and anxiety to finally get someone to agree to drop the Ritalin. Prior to my Thyroidectomy me and ritalin worked just fine, did not speed me up just leved me out. Now the Thyroid is gone and Boom Im wired. Still concerned about the labs why would all my levels except for TSH now be in the high limits when a week ago they were normal?
Avatar n tn I spend the next two days thinking i was going to die of a heart attack. After two days of being paranoid i went to the emergency room and told the doctor what had happened. I was fine and sent home later that day. The constant worry for those two days had sent me into a state of depersonalization/derealization. Now it seems most of my anxiety is cause by the constant feeling unreal.

Avatar n tn What are the options for this disorder? Do you find Ritalin affects wear off over the course of treatment? Are there implantable devices now to control this disorder?
Avatar f tn I am very nervous about it as at 33 I had a mild heart attack after child birth and now have Atrial Fibrillation controlled by daily meds. Am I setting him up for problems in the future? His Dr. says not to worry, that it is very unlikely he will have any problems. Anyone have any insight?
Avatar f tn I'm 44 and in the last year I have noticed my heart rate picking up when i wake in the middle of the night. Not really when i wake in the morning. it only lasts for seconfs but it is frightening as hell. Also been getting dizzy spells once in awhile after sitting for long periods of time. I gained weight over the last 10 years after my child and have noticed my blood pressure increasing. 132/90 last visit. i go to the gym regularly and have no problems during exercise.
Avatar f tn I went to my Cardiologist yesterday for my monthly visit. I finally remembered to tell him about the weird heart beats I've been experiencing, and he gave me an EKG. He told me that my weird heart beats were benign PACs and PVCs. I meant to ask him if these could be caused by my medications. I'm taking Florinef, Lyrica, Norpace, Provigil, Prozac, and Ritalin.
14631020 tn?1436545476 My neuro put me on Ritalin for this bone crushing fatigue a week ago. I realize some medicines take a while to get into your system before they actually work and some medicines are fast acting and you get immediate results. The Ritalin has made me slightly more mentally aware, but I am still bone tired. Should I give it more time or call him and tell him it isn't working?
Avatar f tn t think to mention it because I never really thought about it being a problem until a few days ago I read something that said ritalin is bad for your heart. I feel like now that I'm able to function more like a "normal" person I do have a lot less anxiety. I'm gonna stop worring about it, in my case I feel the benefits outweigh the risks.
Avatar n tn IDK how to answer your question and am not familiar with this drug but gather it's like ritalin? Why did you take this much? Is this a regular drug for you? If you are not feeling right please go to the ER. Better safe than sorry okay? Let us know how you are...
