Sorry to post this on this Invega topic, but I know fking worry if I damaged my heart lol. I was prescribed Ritalin 10mg but it only gave me heart palpitations. On top of that die I felt chest pain,heightened blood pressure,looked pale,had shortness of breath,felt little dizzy (especially walking), I could sort of feel like I was about to fall when walking, had no balance. I also experience severe insomnia. I felt this massive anxiety when I was about to go somewhere. I swear these symptoms are also coupled with a possible heart attack. Ive been on this met for almost 2 years with those symptoms lol. Lucky to be alive. My blood pressure must have been skyrocked, my sleep also been atricious. I Worry if I doubled the risk of dementia or heart disease with this s lifestyle. I'm only 21 now, no heart disease diagnosed ever.
To say its anxiety, well even of I try to rest I could feel this chest pain. No wonder why when taking Ritalin I couldn't sit still or Just chill out as I felt this fking chest pain. Well you wonder, why not fking call the doc? Idk the combination of Ritalin being addicitive and the Invega making you fking lazy/retarded must made me apathetic about the whole situation. The Invega induced anhedonia must made not care about my heart, as the Ritalin gave me a slight good pleasure (or its maybe due possible ADHD I might have, but the physical effects just be too high). I also have no Social support, or I mean I'm not registred at a school so I had no peers to talk to (you know of I was at school, you'd know that a chest pain is fking abnormal, I mean its easy to think rational then). Not to say that you can tell that experiencing a chest pain while being alone isn't abnormal, but idk in my case I'd know.
Everytime I mentioned it to the doc/mom, they all Just chalked it up to anxiety, but my voice deep behind me is like: 'nah somebody with anxiety can keep his heart calm of he manage to calm himself (providing the intensity of his anxiety as well). Idk if its true, but a fking voice is like 'nah its angina pectoris', your arteries are being narrowed, if I was you I'd go back to your Ritalin 5mg or ban caffeïne too+try to fking sleep as you only managed to het 8hours of very light sleep (unfortenately a possible side effect, if taken Ritalin too late, well I was prescribed Ritalin 3x Times).
Sorry if I made this text too long. I can't really explain everything but this is wanted to het out.
I'll know cease Ritalin and caffeine and see if things go fking away. Maybe I Just took Ritalin in a periode where I had a lot.of anxiety going on and it Just made of worse (which may be possible idk, I mean I'm still alive after 2 years).
Could explain further, but can't make a text longer.
