Dexmethylphenidate ER is an extended-release stimulant for patients with ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) or narcolepsy. Dexmethylphenidate ER increases certain chemicals in the brain (neurotransmitters) that are responsible for attention, focus, and impulse control. Restoring these chemicals helps relieve the inattentiveness, hyperactivity, lack of focus, and impulse control typical of ADHD.
Dexmethylphenidate ER is administered as a tablet once or twice a day.
Dexmethylphenidate ER has many side effects, but the most common are sleeplessness, headache, stomach ache, eye pain, heart rate changes, and loss of appetite. Dexmethylphenidate ER 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 ER are uncommon and may include swelling or trouble breathing.
Patients mistakenly diagnosed with ADHD will not benefit from Dexmethylphenidate ER. Rather than relieve inattentiveness or lack of impulse control, Dexmethylphenidate ER will act like 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.
