Anyone want to give me the basic uses and dosing for ritalin (methylphenidate)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure!: Methylphenidate comes in many forms, including ritalin (methylphenidate). It is a very safe drug that blocks the reuptake of norepinephrine and Dopamine in the nerve cell connections called synapses. This improves communication between nerve cells that improves things like attention, organization, focus, self control. When used properly, mph is life saving.
