Ritalin has been described as "Cocaine dripped thru molasses"- there seems to be proof to this admission-perhaps why some kids crush up the pills and snort them?.
As someone who has had experience with the stuff it CAN definately be severly brain chamging- to the neurotransmitters ETC, and one can expect some PRETTY TOUGH time when stopping it.
Take a look at the Nurological effects of Ritalin and Cocaine--THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME.
cocaine N/A topical anesthetic (oral, laryngeal and nasal cavities) N/A 30-90 minutes
CYP-3A4 * psychostimulant:
DA reuptake inhibition ++
NE reuptake inhibition +Now Ritalin-note the SIMILAR MODE OF ACTION.
methylphenidate Ritalin, Concerta, Metadate, Methylin, Methylphen ADD, ADHD, depression, CFS
20-30mg
(60mg max) 2.9 hrs
* psychostimulant:
DA reuptake inhibition
NE reuptake inhibition
NE releaseSEE?
1, a redreational drug of like damaging abuse, the other a medically scripted remedy for a "medical ailment"
