Ritalin-Concerta (Brand) is a medication that belongs to the group of sympathomimetic amines and is used for treating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Narcolepsy. It is a psychostimulant that acts on the central nervous system by increasing the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. This medication modifies the chemicals in the brain and nerves to control hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. Adderall is another medication that is commonly used to treat treatment-resistant depression and exogenous obesity.
Amphetamines are non-catecholamine salts that stimulate the central nervous system. The exact therapeutic mechanism of action for ADHD patients is not yet fully understood. Amphetamines are believed to inhibit the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine within the presynaptic neuron, leading to an increase in the release of these monoamines into the space between neurons.
It is important to avoid taking Adderall if you have recently used an MAO inhibitor. Severe adverse effects may occur if Adderall is taken before the MAO inhibitor has been cleared from the body. Additionally, individuals who are intolerant to amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, or those with arteriosclerosis, heart problems, anxiety or hypertension, a history of narcotics or alcohol addiction, mild to severe high blood pressure, overactive thyroid, or glaucoma should avoid taking Adderall. Some stimulant drugs have been associated with major side effects in children and teenagers, including heart disease or congenital heart defects, and even death. Prolonged use of Adderall can also lead to stunted growth in children. Improper use of this medication can have detrimental effects on the heart and may even result in death. If a child experiences unusual weight loss or stunted growth, or any other health problems, it is important to seek immediate medical attention.
