Not exclusively. Methylphenidate (Ritalin and friends) is generally the first-line drug in the US at least, due to milder side effects and a lower potential for abuse.
- soylentcola 10y agoAlways found this odd because at least for me, methylphenidate (and its surprise result of mixing with alcohol, ethylphenidate) made me feel more of a "buzz" or desire to take more compared to the typical amp-salts. I actually had my doc switch me over because I don't like the idea of any more side effects or anything that might lead me to abuse than absolutely necessary. I guess a lot is down to individual neurochemistry but I felt that mpd was almost like cocaine whereas the generic Adderall I'm on now just makes me able to focus.
