What is Dexmethylphenidate?

Dexmethylphenidate is a stimulant for patients with ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder). Dexmethylphenidate increases certain chemicals in the brain (neurotransmitters) that are responsible for attention, focus, and impulse control. Restoring this neurotransmitter balance helps relieve the inattentiveness, hyperactivity, lack of focus, and impulse control typical of ADHD.

Dexmethylphenidate is also commonly used to treat the symptoms of narcolepsy, a rare condition in which patients have sudden attacks of sleepiness or muscle weakness and paralysis.

Dexmethylphenidate is available in immediate- and extended-release tablets.

What are the side effects of Dexmethylphenidate?

Dexmethylphenidate has many side effects, but the most common are sleeplessness, headache, stomach ache, eye pain, heart rate changes, and loss of appetite. Dexmethylphenidate has been shown to slightly stunt the growth of children.

Mental and mood changes are common side effects and include anxiety, restlessness, depression, and flattened mood, among others.

Allergic reactions to Dexmethylphenidate are uncommon and may include swelling or trouble breathing.

Patients mistakenly diagnosed with ADHD will not benefit from Dexmethylphenidate. Rather than relieve inattentiveness or lack of impulse control, Dexmethylphenidate will act as a stimulant and result in ADHD-like symptoms, such as restlessness, hyperactivity, nervousness, anxiety, increased inattentiveness, high blood pressure, and paranoia among other side effects.
