Started about two months ago on adderall on and off and started feeling palpitations a couple of weeks ago, talked to the psychiatrist and she thinks it’s not because of the medication. Anyone else has experienced similar side effects ? Any recommendations on how to deal with it ?

Do you have an Apple Watch? I thought I felt something off too but my heart rate was basically the same before I started medication and now that I’m on it. I also measure my BP regularly (maybe once a week) and it hasn’t changed. This was all recommended to me by my psychiatrist though, so I think this must be a side effect she wanted me to monitor just in case.

Your dosage is too high; I experienced palpitations after taking ADHD stimulants (adderall, Vyvanse). After reducing the dosage, I don’t feel them anymore.

After reducing the dose, were meds still effective?

So I noticed that if I don’t take the meds I don’t feel the palpitations. I am now sacred of taking them 😟

I think it’s suspect that your doc didn’t associate the meds with heart palpitations. It’s a known and serious side effect that comes with too high a dose.

At what point do you decide to switch labs when IVF isn’t working. I’ve had one cycle so far, and 2 FETs with an AA and AB embryos (both genetically tested), and no luck yet. No underlying infertility issues (doing IVF for genetic reasons) so I’m kind of confused as to why I’m not having success. I have one AB embryo left and if that doesn’t work I don’t know if I should stick with the same RE/lab or go somewhere else? Like how do you know if it’s you or them that’s the problem?
