A member asked:

How normal would it be for my heart to beat so slow when on stimulants?

Specializes in Cardiology

Help us out: Gosh, hard to answer if you dont say exactly what heart rate, on what stimulant at what dose. Stimulants for adhd dont always raise heart rate and it's better off that way.
