Ritalin®, a medication that is only available by prescription, is licensed for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. As a stimulant, Ritalin increases energy and alertness, which can help people with narcolepsy stay awake during the day. However, it can also affect chemicals in the brain to produce a calming effect, which can help children with ADHD remain focused. Common side effects of Ritalin may include nervousness, abdominal pain, and drowsiness.
