I was diagnosed just today with supraventricular tachycardia. I took ritalin for 13 years, and I wonder if that played a part in this whole mess. I had found that recently, the ritalin made my heart beat too fast, and I felt funny so I switched from the 20 mg sr to the 10 mg, but that still seemed to be too much. Since I was diagnosed, I have refused to take my ritalin, and have discovered to my amazement that after a period of difficult "withdrawal", I am able to function quite well without it. If anyone knows how the two are linked, I would really like to know more. Thank you~
