Methylphenidate 10 ER once daily has drastically changed me into a very patient, rational, calm, caring person. I was soo shocked at its effect that I almost cried! However, the one downside is that it races my heart which is uncomfortable. How can I fix this? Are there ways to do such WITHOUT affecting the "brain" effect of this medication? Please Help!
Thanks so much.

Beta Blockers are about as good as it gets AFAIK.
I take toprol XL, an extened release formulation at at very low dose 12.5mg/day.
Beta Blockers block the effects of stimulants, with minimal effect on the central effects.
Propranolol seems to be a favorite among Pdocs; I got the Toprol from my GP.
