They will most likely try to reccomend something else. Ritalin is very strong and is used as a last resort in most cases. It causes one to focus on whatever they are doing, however it will cause them to lose attention to outside sources. It also is an appetite supressant, so users are generally very skinny. Hope I helped.
Ritalin works ONLY for people with ADD. That term, however, is thrown around these days more than anything else. Just because you feel you may have it or you feel you may have some symptoms, doesn't mean that you are truly ADD. If you have ADD, you're in constant motion. You never stop. You'll bounce from one thing to the next to the next, etc. Neither alcohol nor drugs such as marijuana will have the calming effects that they are known for. Ritalin, in a person with TRUE ADD, will act like alcohol/marijuana and will calm you down to the point that you're very sleepy, almost like a zombie, but functional. Ritalin taken by someone without TRUE ADD is the equivalent of taking crystal meth. / cocaine. This is something to seriously consider when thinking about whether or not you have ADD.
