Hi Dianew. Part of the reason I stopped taking ritalin (the genereic brand of ritalin acutally -methylphenidate) was because at times I felt edgy and well, just edgy. I have heard some say that the generic brand of ritalin can cause this.
I started taking methylphenidate again this spring because, un-edgy as I was, I was acomplishing absolutly nothing without my medication.
One thing I have discovered is that the 20mg I was taking each time was part of the problem. I now am taking 10mg each time, just a lot more often. Kind of a manual slow release. My doctor is fine with this and it seems to have solved that edgy thing.
Talk to your doctor about the thump thump.
Good luck.
