Hello fellow Greenlighters and Bluelighters,

I am curious if anyone has had a similar issue to me. After using Adderoll and Ritalin for years for both recreation and utility, I finally got myself a prescription of Ritalin- starting with 40mg almost daily and increasing it to 60mg daily after a month. I am one who normally doesn't get sick and when I do, its pretty minimal. Ever since I moved back to school in mid August and began taking this medicine daily, I feel like I have been sick the entire time with only a couple day periods where I really feel normal. Its certainly not crippling, just a cough and stuffy nose, basic cold symptoms.

Has any one had this problem with methylphenidate in the past? Have you heard of this being an issue?
Thanks in advance guys
