Re: I feel cold all the time!

Reynaud’s is not caused by ADHD or the medications thereof. It may be a sign of other vascular and/or connective tissue problems so it is important to get it checked out.

All psychostimulant medications affect BP and peripheral blood flow and it is not uncommon that hands and feet may appear colder. Similarly, it is not uncommon for your Heart Rate to go up. The effects are reversible. Whether they will reverse the effects of antihypertensive agents is variable. Always check with your doctor on the combination.

Anecdotally, I have often seen ADHD individuals who sweat a lot and have dyshydrotic eczema on their hands and feet (peeling skin). Not sure why.
