Was hoping someone could tell me of any safety considerations I need to consider while working out hopped up on stims. I usually just don't take medication on the day I'm going to work out but I might need to start taking my meds everyday to combat fatigue. I guess this is common sense, heart rate will go up so I just need to not over exert, but wanted to make sure with others here before I start going full-bore. Thanks! :D

Do you work out in the morning or night? My workouts are from 9:30-10:30 am and I do 10 min of cardio and spend the rest of the time weight training. I usually take 20mg Adderall at 8 am and I haven't had any problems from it at the gym. Usually my heart rate goes up when I'm doing squats but I just take a few minutes between sets to drink some water and relax.

I haven't had a problem working out while on ritalin. I don't think I'd use it while on an empty stomach and then work out.

I don't think it's a problem, but check with a Dr. Keep track of your resting and after-exertion heart rate, also your blood pressure, especially if (like me) you have hypertension.

You might want to talk to your doctor about an exercise stress test. In addition to monitoring heart rate and blood pressure, it will also include an EKG to check how your heart beats.

I'm on ritalin and welbutrin....i've never had any issues w/ working out...and I workout a lot. Sometimes, I might feel nauseous if I train too close to taking my ritalin...or, I can't eat my PWO meal...but that's the only issue I've run into.
