I know I should be asking my doctor, but even though getting an appointment with a neurologist is free, it takes months where I live.

My problem is that I sometimes have severe pain in the stomach and abdomen. I have had acute Pancreatitis in the past and I fear it might become chronic (pancreas digesting itself).

Is this just a coincidence or does Methylphenidate damage my pancreas further?

Additional info:

  • I was diagnosed with ADHD at age 6

  • This is the first time I am taking medication

  • Daily Dose is 30mg total (extended release 15mg and 15mg)

  • I am not on any other medication

    I know the feeling, I had to stop taking it due to high blood pressure and felt like the rug had been pulled from under me.

    I imagine they’ll be able to find an alternative ADHD med that’s right for you if it even comes to that. Especially early on it’s all about finding what works for each individual with dosage and type of medication.
