Can ritalin (methylphenidate) affect breathing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: If you develop difficulty breathing, hives or swelling of the lips, tongue or throat - this could be a serious allergic reaction that warrants immediate medical care. Respiratory side effects are not common.
