Stimulants Adderall and Ritalin

[Tillianne]

I have taken both, but it seems I get really cold after I take Adderall, but not Ritalin. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks

Amphetamine acts as a vasoconstrictor. It constricts blood vessels thus reducing blood flow to the skin and extremities. Most amphetamines do this, that's why they were initially marketed as nasal decongestants.

I suppose methylphenidate has less of this effect, though a quick google search reveals it too can cause vasoconstriction.

hope that helped.

Yes it did, thank you very much.
