If we are gonna have a million and one posts on ADD/ADHD and stimulant medications then here are how you spell the drugs..

ADDERALL
RITALIN
CONCERTA
STRATTERA
FOCALIN
WELLBUTRIN
METHYLPHENIDATE
DEXEDRINE
METADATE
 
its actually methylphenidate, not methylphenidat. methlyphenidate is the active ingredient in ritalin and concerta.

tenex and clonidine are two other drugs that are often used for adhd.

now, i'm not sure why this thread is necessary. were many people having spelling difficulties?
 
Sorry the "E" must have gotten lost some how.. it's fixed now

Very good.. but it is also prescribed as a generic drug...

Yes but it isn't nearly as common.. especially with college students.

And yes indeed.. apparently many people can't spell adderall or ritalin specifically.
