Anyone here take Ritalin? Palpitations

dhaemon

I find that around when I stop taking Ritalin I get Palpitations(ectopic) that last 3-4 days and freaks me out that I am afraid to exercise.

I have great blood pressure and blood test came back great.
My doctor says it came happen but not to worry about them

Freaks me out when I have.... Beat...Beat...beat........Pause....ONE BIG BEAT....Beat...beat.... Happens like 2-3 mybe 4 times a minute.

Ritalin helps me study (In last term for trades school)

Please tell me there are others in the same boat....Because it doesn't help that I'm a hypochondriac and freak out...
I am 405 lbs and have been eating great and exercising 3 times a week, most weeks.


It went away 3 weeks ago, but then I took Ritalin last week for exams and stopped it right after...and it(Palpitations) started up again like a few days later.
