I picked up the Ritalin on Tuesday but didn't take it right away... Since I am no longer working I don't have an incentive or reason to get out of bed. So I took it today because I had a T appointment in the morning.

I didn't seem to feel much different.

No bad effects.

I did NOT take my other meds in the morning planning to take them when I got home from my T appt.

But I stopped on my way home to eat breakfast.

Sometimes when I eat before taking my meds my heart starts to pound.

Today my heart started to pound and it did not stop for a long time and I actually threw up my breakfast.

I don't know if the heart pounding was a result of the breakfast or the Ritalin or a combination of both.

Note no problem during the doctor appointment not until I ate breakfast.

So now I guess I need to take it again another day under better conditions to see if the Ritalin is causing me heart pounding. I'm definitely NOT going to take it tomorrow.

I had originally planned to try taking it again in the morning on the weekend and seeing if it helps me go on a day trip but now I won't do that... if it is the Ritalin making my heart pound I don't want to get caught away from home when it happens. I guess I'll pick a day and try again next week some time.
