Ritalin is the brand name for methylphenidate, a medication that stimulates the production of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. Experts believe that these two chemicals play an important role in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
ADHD is a behavioral disorder that affects a person’s ability to focus and pay attention. Other symptoms can include impulsivity and hyperactivity.
Doctors also prescribe Ritalin as a second-line treatment option for people with narcolepsy.
Narcolepsy is a rare, neurological disorder that affects a person’s sleeping and waking patterns. People may feel tired throughout the day and can be prone to suddenly falling asleep in the middle of daily activities.
