> > I took the 3.75 mg. almost two hours ago. My pusle rate is now the same as it was before I took the Dex. It feels like it's higher though. I guess I'm more physically aware of my heart beating. I feel like I've just had a little bit of coffee along with a Valium - a little bit of tension along with more sedation. Sounds like a paradoxical response, doesn't it? I'm really bummed.

> When I first started ritalin my heart rate went up and I got that wired/tired feeling you describe. It went away pretty quickly, within a couple of days. My BP and pulse were actually lower than pre ritalin at the last check. Maybe you just need to give it a little time at a steady dose.

>I find that ritalin doesn't change my heart rate or BP but amphetamines do significantly. Both meds seem to increase the effects of caffeine significantly and sometimes a latte could make me very anxious and jittery.
