Anyone out there with a high BP and on ritalin.
Does it raise your pressure much?
How does your doctor deal with it?
Will doctors even give ritalin if you have a high BP?
My BP is a bit high 139/80 I think, and want to ask my doctor for Ritalin. Advice anyone?
Thanks,
Greg

I just started, but yesterday doctor confirmed that my blood pressure is a bit high.. will let you know how it goes for me, so far he has informed me that I need to start a diet they will hook me up with.

I switched to Adderall because of BP problems. It seems to be working better.
