 JK> Ritalin and amphetamine have almost identical adverse effects on the

 JK> Ritalin can cause permanent neurological tics including Tourette's

 JK> Ritalin can retard growth in children by disrupting the cycles of

You are right on track, Jane, nice research!
I may add that anyone with a seizure disorder should NOT use
Ritalin, and the doctor should be so informed.
