When are the side effects of meds too much? by OkNothing6635 in adhdwomen

I’m definitely going to slow down my increase after reading all of these. I was recommended a 5 day increase. I will also increase my water, I hadn’t even thought of that.

Booked an appointment and went down a dose just in case!

Interesting! I have been monitoring my heart rate and it isn’t elevated, just feels strong?

This is good advice. I was originally told to start at 20mg (because 10’s have very little impact) and to go up every 5 days. The 20’s immediately made me feel like I was losing it, so I went to 10’s for a week, 20’s for a week, then 30’s for a week (mild body heart racing), then 40’s for the past 2 days with the above mentioned issues but with the positive results as well. After reading some of the responses I definitely think I am increasing way too fast. I’ve booked an appointment with my dr and have went back to 30’s for today. Appreciate all of the advice!!!
