Methylphenidate, brand name Ritalin, is an amphetamine-like central nervous system stimulant used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, adolescents, and adults, as well as narcolepsy. 1 It is a Schedule II controlled substance.
Stimulants, however, are a tried and true treatment for ADHD. Ritalin has been used to treat ADHD since the 1960âs and is still in use. Many of the brand-name ADHD medications such as Concerta are just long-acting/slow release formulations of Ritalin.f you give them a stimulant medication, they no longer have the need to self-stimulate. According to a recent survey by the Center for Disease Control, nearly 1 in 10 U.S. children have been diagnosed with ADHD by a health care professional, about 5.4 million kids. About two thirds of these children take a medication.
