MY blood pressure yesterday (during night of course when blood pressure is high...but regardless it was the 1st day of my medication and I was on my 2nd dose (pill) of the medication at the time) it was: 160/100 and I am 26-years old but again it was my 1st day of my medication and I had not drank much water. Today I have drank a lot of water and feel better but I will have my cousin take my blood pressure when she comes here in a bit..

Today I did space it out. Thank you so much for your reply and advice it is highly appreciated. The med says to take 2-3 times a day I only took 10 MG twice yesterday and the same today so far. On my adderall, I was taking 60/mg a day when I was in the U.S. but for the last month and a half I had reduced my adderall level to less than 30/mg a day (because of reduced workload) so that corresponds with the ritalin use of 2-3 times a day 10 MG for now. It says I can take 2-3 up to 40-60 MG/day but because of my reduced adderall use I am good with 20-30 mg/day for now....when my workload goes up (even while I am here I need to catch up on some things) I will see how my body reacts to what I need but for now I am taking it easy and seeing how things go..

Like you said; of course it is a different medication and esp. at the beginning my body is prob. going to react differently and have different feelings. I have felt "high" with the ritalin since yesterday (at diff. levels...usually after 1-hour of taking it) but that is how I felt when I started my adderall 3-years ago or so at the beginning...I will keep things in track and any other input or advice is of course always appreciated...

BTW, would you recommend a blood thinner medication if my blood pressure remains high or should I not mix it with my medication?
