Concerning new drugs, findings, Ritalin

Posted by BuffaloDave on December 06, 2000 at 11:25:13:

Hello. As a fellow narcoleptic, i found this article somewhat interesting regarding a new drug, Concerta, that has replaced ritalin in some cases. While i do not know if it applies to Narc, its interestin never the less.

Also, though i do not have a link, i have an article at home regarding some recent research in cadivers that had narc. In all cases, they found that a certian bunch of brain cells/nerves were dead.

Also, for anyone who takes ritalin, i am curious to what side effects you are experiencing. I have had loss of appetite, and the stranger one, excessive sweating.
