Good morning, I have been taking Citral for a week, the doctor recommended me to include Medikinet due to attention deficits and adhd not treated since childhood. I noticed that Citral lowered my heart rate to 55. Can I take these medicines together? Will Medikinet affect my current worse mood and fears?

Citral is a beta-adrenergic antagonist that can lower blood pressure and heart rate, and Medikinet is a psychostimulant used to treat attention deficit and/or hyperactivity (ADHD). Using both of these medicines at the same time may increase the risk of side effects such as a drop in blood pressure, heart rate or bradycardia (slowing of the heart rate). However, you are at the beginning of treatment the full effect of Cital is usually achieved in 5-6 weeks of treatment. During this time, side effects such as a drop in heart rate and a worse mood should gradually decrease. As for the effect of Medikinet on mood and anxiety, drugs in this group may improve mood and well-being in some patients by improving their concentration and effectiveness. In any case, before making any changes to therapy, you should always consult your doctor.
