A member asked:

Herbs caused week long heart palps. normal ekg & chest x-ray. dr told me to continue ritalin (methylphenidate), (methylphenidate) though i still have heart palps. should i take ritalin (methylphenidate)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe, maybe not: Your doctor obviously knows the specifics of your health better than i do. For example, how much, in his/her judgement you need the ritalin (methylphenidate)? And wherther an alternative could be used? But you're right to question the use of a drug that is known to exacerbate arrhythmias.
