Side Effects of the Methylphenidate Patch: Final Thoughts

You may experience some or none of the methylphenidate patch side effects explained above. Unfortunately, there is no way for your healthcare provider to know beforehand if you will have side effects from a medicine that you have never tried. Therefore, be sure to let your healthcare provider know if you or your child develop any side effects while using methylphenidate patches, or if something "just does not seem right." While it may not be a methylphenidate patch side effect, your healthcare provider should be able to diagnose and treat the problem.
