Is Ritalin supposed to calm someone down or speed them up?

Ritalin (Methylphenidate) is a drug that is in the family of medications identified as stimulants. This medication is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy (uncontrollable need to sleep). Ritalin helps to decrease restlessness and increase attention in adults and children who have been diagnosed with ADHD.

This medication also helps to motivate people that suffer from narcolepsy so that they do not fall asleep at improper times. If a person takes a 15mg tablet of Ritalin, it will keep their heart beating fast all day. It will also make them burn more calories while they eat, sleep, and breathe.

Ritalin is normally prescribed in oral form for children who display an excessive or abnormal inability to pay attention, follow instructions, sit still, or otherwise obey and listen to authority.

Since their brains are craving that base level stimulation that everyone else just inherently has, *EVERYTHING* stimulates their brains, such that they cannot distinguish between what they are supposed to be doing with that shiny whatever. It is easy to joke, but imagine you are driving down the road terrified that anything shiny on the side of the road will make you forget you are driving and crash. That's what ADHD is like.

So, the drugs amp up the psychological stimulation of ADHD patients ONLY TO THE LEVELS OF NORMAL PEOPLE. Please stop spreading FUD.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
