Why do I feel shaky and sweaty after taking my ADHD medication?

That's not always just the medication itself - it depends on which one you're taking and your dose! Stimulant ADHD meds like Adderall or Ritalin can definitely trigger that shaky, sweaty feeling because they increase heart rate and adrenaline, especially when you first start or if the dose is too high for your body. Your doctor might need to adjust it down or switch you to something else, since some people handle certain meds way better than others. Definitely talk to them about this instead of toughing it out - there are options that might work without those side effects!
