Yesterday I just satrted takin settera, its an adhd med. Anyways a few hours after I took I was gettin dizzy and id get chills in my scalp and all over my body,i feel out of it more then before. My head feels like theres a ton of pressure on it and my mind is goin crazy with thoughts, I dont feel like myself. I never felt any of this stuff before I started takin it, well not as bad at least. Is it probabably from the medication or is there something wrong with me u think?

I stopped takin it for a few days, thats when I worred about the whole stroke thing but look. When I was taking strattera I didnt get "1" panic attack and only had a very low level of anxiety. It was like that for 3 days untill I stopped takin it, im gettin back on it today.
