All the heart stuff was caused by the nicotine spray I've been using to quit smoking. Doesn't go well with the adhd medication.

Reminds me of when I accidentally overdosed on caffeine. Nausea, agitation, heart palpitations. I was feeling really unwell and was just about to go to the doctor when I realised I'd been drinking way too much coffee (just because it was winter and I wanted to keep warm!). I went out and got a teapot and some peppermint tea, knitted myself a tea cosy, and all was well thereafter.

It's amazing how easy it is to miss when little things turn into big things.
