Can Numbness And Bruising In The Foot Be Side Effects Of Ritalin?
I have been taking Ritalin after a 10 year break from it for the last four days. I have been experiencing patches of numbness in my right calf and foot, together with mild bruising at the sites of the numbness. My question is is this a common side effect that I shouldn t worry about or should I immediately stop taking the Ritalin?

Hello,
It seems to be a Ritalin related problem as numbness and colour change of skin if you are not using any other drugs.
There is due possibility of interaction with blood flow leading to these changes. You need to meet your treating physician to let him see these patches and check them in detail.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
