Methylphenidate Side Effects?

[Coco1860]

Hi! I recently started methylphenidate hydrochloride for my ADHD, (brand name Xaggitin Xl) and I’ve had no side-effects so far other than a bit more anxiety than usual for the first hour after my dose, I already have anxiety though so this isn’t a huge issue. But over the last week or so I have noticed I’ve needed to stretch constantly or tense my muscles, I’m constantly stretching my shoulders, tensing my neck and fingers and I’m wondering if this could be a side-effect? If I don’t do it it feels uncomfortable. Thanks!

Not for me!

Other than the very first day of taking it , feeling a bit weird, I never had any side effects with methylphenidate. Same now that I take amphetamine.

A lot of side effects are individually tailored. Compared to some other medications, I find the side effects of stimulants are not that similar between people across the board.

Maybe someone here has had that experience though!

I'm sorry this response is two months late, but I am currently experiencing the exact same thing!! Let me know if you ever found out anything more about this!
