What is Methylin?

Methylin (methylphenidate) is a brand-name stimulant for patients with ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder). Methylin increases chemicals in the brain, called neurotransmitters, that are responsible for attention, focus, and impulse control. As a result, Methylin helps relieve the inattentiveness, hyperactivity, lack of focus, and impulse control typical of ADHD.

Methylin 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.

Methylin is taken as an oral solution throughout the day.

What are the side effects of Methylin?

Methylin has many side effects, but the most common are sleeplessness, headache, stomach ache, eye pain, heart rate changes, and loss of appetite. Methylphenidate, the active ingredient in Methylin, 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 Methylin are uncommon and may include swelling or trouble breathing.

Patients mistakenly diagnosed with ADHD will not benefit from Methylin. Rather than relieve inattentiveness or lack of impulse control, Methylin will act as a stimulant and result in restlessness, hyperactivity, nervousness, anxiety, increased inattentiveness, high blood pressure, and paranoia among other side effects. Many of these effects are identical to common ADHD symptoms.
