Does Taking Concerta Lead To Nausea And Rapid Heart Rate?

OK, this was dumb and I'm not doing it again. To ask my question ill first explain, in the past I have done many drugs (mainly stimulants & pain killers). When i did them in the past i worked my way up through doses. I was never addicted to them but i loved the feeling when i was on them, then randomly, i dont really know why, i decided i wasnt going to do them, so i didnt. Well its been about a year since I've done drugs recreationally, although i am currently prescribed to vyvanse as i do have ADD and they help greatly. Well this morning my friend offered me some concerta(I hadn't taken my vyvanse yet)so i stupidly agreed. i took 2 54's regular and i cut 1 in half, like i use to. I drank a 5 hour energy, so all together i took 3 54mg concerta's(one cut in half) and a 5 hour energy. throughout the day i felt euphoria along with nausea, racing! heart, pounding! heart, and my right bicep randomly/frequently twitches. It is now 11:15 and i cant sleep(expected) and my heart is still racing extremely fast and pounding badly and more random twitches(but anywhere). What can i do to counteract concerta and its symptoms? Or at least lessen them?

Hi,

Please don't worry. The racing heart beat and muscle twitches are because of the substances you took. The symptoms will gradually improve as the drugs are washed off from the body. Just wait for a day or two.

Best wishes.
