What is Ritalin?

Ritalin is the common name for methylphenidate, a potent central nervous system stimulant derived from amphetamine. It is used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), narcolepsy, and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Ritalin may also be used to treat depression and obesity. Street names for this drug include "rids," "pineapple," "kiddy-cocaine," and "skippy."


Causes of Ritalin Addiction

"Rids" work by increasing the brain's level of dopamine production. When the drug is taken as prescribed, the increase in this neurotransmitter is low. People who are abusing "pineapple" take larger doses, and get a feeling of euphoria after taking the drug. They may crush and snort it or inject the "skippy" to get a "high" faster. The effect on the user's central nervous system is virtually identical to cocaine. With time, the user starts to rely on the drug to feel good and they are less able to get pleasure from other parts of their life.

 

Ready to Find a Ritalin Rehab Clinic?

Ritalin Rehabilitation Assessment ImageWhen you contact one of the rehab clinics listed in our directory for help, the first step is for staff members to assess your current condition. Since "kiddy-cocaine" is physically addictive, the first step in getting off the drug is to go through detox. Once that process is complete, treatment can focus on learning to live free from using "rids" to have a pleasurable experience.


Why Stop Using Ritalin? Some Reasons to Consider:

  • Using "skippy" at a higher dosage than what is normally prescribed can cause psychosis, and it has been linked to admissions to psychiatric hospitals.
  • "Kiddy-cocaine" has been linked to anxiety, aggression, and irritability.
  • When "pineapple" is taken with antidepressants, it may cause high blood pressure, as well as convulsions.
  • "Rids" can cause birth defects when taken by pregnant women.
