Product Description

Ritalin (methylphenidate) is an amphetamine-like recommendation stimulant commonly used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children and adults.

Many think Ritalin (methylphenidate) is safe, or mild, because so many children use it. However, the government classifies the psychoactive drug with cocaine and morphine because it is highly addictive.

Avoid Ritalin if:

Do not use Ritalin if you have high blood pressure or any form of heart disease, are very nervous or have severe insomnia, have a history of addiction to drugs or alcohol. Do not combine Ritalin with monoamine oxidize inhibitors.

It is possible to build up a tolerance to Ritalin, which means the person using this medicine needs to take larger doses to achieve the same effect. Over time, the body might come to depend on Ritalin just to function normally. The person desires for the drug and their psychological dependence makes them dreaded if access is denied, even temporarily.

Withdrawal symptoms can include tiredness, panic attacks, peculiarity, extreme hunger, depression and nightmares. Some people experience a pattern of "binge crash" characterized by using continuously for several days without sleep, followed by a period of heavy sleeping.

 WARNINGS

Ritalin should not be used in children under six years, since safety and efficacy in this age group have not been established. Sufficient data on safety and efficacy of long-term use of Ritalin in children are not yet available. Although a causal relationship has not been established, suppression of growth (i.e., weight gain, and/or height) has been reported with the long-term use of stimulants in children. Therefore, patients requiring long-term therapy should be carefully monitored.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Nervousness and insomnia are the most common adverse reactions but are usually controlled by reducing dosage and omitting the drug in the afternoon or evening. Other reactions include hypersensitivity (including skin rash, hives, fever, intense burning or stabbing pain caused by irritation of or damage to a nerve, peeling skin, red blotches or blisters all over the skin.

DRUG DEPENDENCE

Ritalin should be given cautiously to emotionally unstable patients, such as those with a history of drug dependence or alcoholism, because such patients may increase dosage on their own initiative. Constant abusive use can lead to marked tolerance and psychic dependence with varying degrees of abnormal behavior. Frank psychotic episodes can occur, especially with parental abuse. Careful supervision is required during drug withdrawal, since severe depression as well as the effects of chronic over activity can be unmasked. Long-term follow-up may be required because of the patient's basic personality disturbances.
