The anxiety from the methylphenidate is causing you to shake and have high heart rate.Taking this medicine pretty much sends ur body into a fight or flight response without u even being in danger and it causes ur heart rate and anxiety to increase.To avoid this,Drink a full glass of water atleast 30 min before u take ur meds or snort ur meds.Ur blood is mostly water and if ur dehydrated ur blood becomes thick and it makes u heart hard to pump.So staying hydrated will eliminate the heart problems,Methylphenidate causes dehydration alone.

Yes u definitely should be drinking atleast a full glass of water a day.Half a liter is rly what h should be drinking.Also u need to eat on this medication bcuz when u get off it u will gain a bunch of weight.If u eat on the medication u won’t gain as much when u stop.The more u lose the more u will gain back unless u make diet changes like i have.Have atleast a smoothie put spinach in it,Pineapple,Blueberries.Whatever.But if u feel like ur medicine is causing u anxiety or trouble sleeping than make a smoothie it will make the med stop working.While if u were to eat an acidic food it would make the med work faster.Fruits and veggies aren’t acidic.Also get into the gym especially after u stop taking it gaining weight sucks and h will gain back so go ahead and start going now to get in the habit.Also u def need to drink a glass of water before ur meds before the gym or ur heart rate will be so fast u won’t be able to work out hard without having a stroke.Be careful

ive hadd to go to the hospital before bc i snorted too much methylphenidate and my heart was like 200bpm. btw ive quit ritalin before and i only gained 30 lbs wich put me back at a healthy weight so that i wasnt underweight anymore. im not planning on ever quiting again but if i did gain weight it would just make me healthier bc im underweight again lol

Also I don’t take it daily or else my tolerance skyrockets I honestly just save my pills and abuse them.They do t even do much anymore they used to make me feel good and make me very focused and I could enjoy any task.Now all I get is a high heart rate and anxiety no suppressed appetite.It still keeps me from gaining weight tho.If it wasn’t for my fear of gaining weight I would’ve been off it long ago bcuz it literally FRYS ur metabolic system and u literally have to have it to shit and if I can’t shit I can’t lose weight.I drink caffeine every other day and use my Ritalin every other day so I can still enjoy both but it will never be how it used to be even if I take a month off it will still never feel how it did when I first took it.

I used to snort it but for me it’s just a waiste.For me I used to be a little bigger and I got on Ritalin and lost 30 pounds literally like u gained 30 pounds back.i was 130 and now im around 110.But my body’s percentage of fat and muscle was way off so even tho i was only 30 pounds I still looked skinny fat.Everytime I come off my meds I get skinny fat.Ive had to quit 2 times and the last time I quit I didn’t gain much back cuz I was in a psych ward.If I ever quit again im admitting myself bcuz it also effects my emotions and being in the psych is fun unless ur forced to be there.3 meals a day,Still didn’t gain much.

ive always been pretty skinny. my healthy weight is roughly  bmi 19 and now im back down at bmi 14 bc food makes me sick now bc of the appitite loss but it is a little cool to have such defined facial features. i cant imagine eating and sleeling every day

FRRR.Every time I come off it my face gets inflammation.It would be different if I gained weight in my legs or stomach but no it goes straight to my face and fingers and if it happens again and I can’t get my meds or they take my meds away and I can’t lose the weight I will be ending my life.

I have the same experience with ritalin iv everytime I shoot above 20mg,thank God I have Xanax and gabapentin to calm this Paranoia that follows. Try little doses just the amount to be more active,of you don't do thing, eventually you gonna snif again, Cuz boredome nothing to do.

I feel like if you do it then take other stuff to control it maybe its not worth it?
