Could the clinical use of Methylphenidate cause excessive sweating during an increased heart rate?

Methylphenidate for treating ADHD.
Would the side effect correlate to the drug use?
Answer:
You bet. Methylphenidate is a relative of the amphetamine family and can thus cause all the nasty side effects of the amphetamines including tachycardia and excessive phoresis (sweating) and often a fight or flight response. If your using it legitimately then call your doctor and report the side effects immediately. If you are taking it illicitly (say hitting the old Vitamin R) then you need to consider going to the ER if the effects persist. And quit taking it if your using it illegally, its as bad as methamphetamine if not properly prescribed and monitored. Sooner or later you will visit the ER or your local Jail.
