A member asked:
Are ritalin (methylphenidate) and adipex amphetamines?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No: Ritalin (methylphenidate) is methyphenidate, which is similar to the amphetamines, but a bit different chemically. Adieux is a central nervous system stimulant which is used to curb appetite, but is also not an amphetamine.

Both stimulants: Ritalin (methylphenidate) is a safe medication when taken as prescribed. Adipex ha been shown to be a dangerous medication and there are warnings about the potential dangers. It is taken as a weight loss treatment.
