Description

Methylphenidate is a drug that is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It is also used as a treatment for the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome. Methylphenidate has a high potential for abuse and can lead to addiction. It may also cause withdrawal symptoms when stopped abruptly, or even when the dosage is decreased. The drug increases dopamine levels in the brain by inhibiting its reuptake by nerve cells, which leads to increased concentration, improved mood, and reduced appetite. Methylphenidate has been shown to be effective in treating ADHD and narcolepsy but should be monitored carefully due to its addictive properties.
