[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 678806, member: 1233"] CB, this is his same old medication in a form that slowly releases it. If the regular version did not cause heart problems then this time release version is VERY unlikely to cause heart problems. Some of your worry seems logical, and not starting a new medication during finals is wise, of course. Could some of your worry be more related to your anxiety issues latching on to another thing to stew about? When I have been in the grips of severe anxiety, almost every little thing that changed would trigger me badly. I had to learn to stop and ask myself if my worry was rational or just the anxiety talking. Sometimes just asking myself the question was enough to end my anxiety loop. Other times I had to use the exercises I learned from a therapist, from various books on anxiety that I read, and from my mom. Deep breathing, guided meditation, stretching, and even keeping a funny book with me to read a short story or chapter to divert my brain from the worry really helped me. You can get books about anxiety on your tablet, computer or in print form and you can learn other exercises that will help you manage the anxiety. I am Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) the medication helps your son. The longer acting version should not be a big change or cause side effects that the immediate release form didn't cause.
