My dr tried to get me on Concerta, but that wasn't washing with the prescription people, so she put me on Ritalin. I noticed yesterday that my pulse was around 114, which is normally in the 80s, but my blood pressure was ok, so I thought it was probably a side effect of a new medication. Today after two doses of Ritalin my pulse seems to be dropped down into the 80s again, and I feel much more organized and remembering what things I need to be doing. I do notice that I am warmer than usual, is this also a side effect of Ritalin? Just when I get used to not having hot flashes, now I am warmer than usual all the time. Sigh. I hope this goes away after the adjusting period is over.
