“Lymph nodes and medicine?”
I became poisoned from essential oils the other day and one of my lymph nodes came out. I wonder if I'm allowed to continue taking my Ritalin for my ADHD I wonder if it's safe or not.

It is not usually wise to stop a daily ADHD medication , especially Ritalin. If you "miss days" then you may develop more & more problems from the confusion that occurs. Why not consider a nurse video chat or virtual session regarding your lymph node concern. Try to note the : when , where & what on a notepad, before the session so you have your answers at the ready, & can listen better.
It’s safe...but enlarged lymph nodes could be worrisome. Prompt doctor evaluation is in order.
