IS IT OK TO EXERCISE WHILE ON MEDS??? | ADHD Information

Share

Definitely discuss exercise with your doctor.  Get a blood pressure checkup and perhaps even an ECG.  One of the reasons the ADHD meds are so carefully monitored and regulated is because people used to overuse the meds and exercise strenuously - causing heart difficulties.  There is danger if you are not healthy to begin with.

After getting a green light to exercise though then it is a wonderful thing!  I exert myself as part of my job and find that after a hard day working at my peak the meds are flushed and I feel relaxed and happy.

I hope your health is up to it - if so then go for it!!

Check with your doctor about whether you should do more exercises than usual.
