In this episode, I discuss a medication known as Ritalin (methylphenidate) and go over 3 things that you should know about it:

1. Some common side effects that you can watch out like like a decrease in appetite or weight loss. You could experience anxiety (8%) or depression (4%) as well.
2. I discuss a Black Box warning concerning dependence with methylphenidate.
3. I go over some situations in which you would not be able to use methylphenidate (contraindications). One example is marked anxiety or agitation as Ritalin my increase these symptoms.

My book is now available! It discusses my experience with Bipolar Disorder.
