Ritalin (generic name methylphenidate) is a central nervous system stimulant that is prescribed to treat Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and various sleep disorders.

Symptoms & Dangers of Ritalin Addiction

The abuse of Ritalin results in physical effects comparable to other stimulants such as cocaine or methamphetamines. Common side effects of Ritalin abuse are irregular heart rhythms, rapid heart rate, extreme anxiety, agitation, aggression, tremors, depression, and painful withdrawals. When ingested in combination with other drugs or during alcohol binges, Ritalin can cause erratic behavior and suicidal ideations. Many people who are not prescribed Ritalin begin using it to stay awake or lose weight, as it is commonly abused by college students and individuals suffering from eating disorders.
