So I took the first dose of ritalin half an hour ago, and my resting HR has been between 85-90. It feels like my heart is beating out of my chest and that was only with half a tablet. I'll see how I go for the rest of the day.

The first couple of days may feel like that. It will settle over the course of the day :)

I sure hope it does settle! :D it's been great sitting down and having a HR of 100. I almost feel like I'm too wired to talk or sing properly haha

I felt the same and couldn’t eat either. It takes around a week or so to settle down and it can be a bit rough tbh.
