Question: I took hydroxycut and Ritalin not knowing what would happen. I am shaking profusely and sweating. What should I do?
Brief Answer:
I think there is need to visit emergency
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
Presence of profuse sweating and and shaking indicates that there is reaction due to intake of two medications together. It is possible as both medications act on sympathetic system and can cause extreme elevation in blood pressure and adverse cardiac outcome.
I request you to visit emergency as soon as possible.
I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thankd and regards
