Ritalin contains the active ingredient Methylphenidate, it is used to treat ADHD and Narcolepsy, it is a stimulant.

this site is not medical professionals, so it is hard to say, it could be either one causing these symptoms.

Have you consulted his doctor about the problem?

The Ritalin can cause moodiness, irritability, aggression and insomnia.

Hello,
I have been on both Adderall & Ritalin (at different times) for ADHD. I originally started out on Adderall XR, switched to Adderall IR, and then-years later-decided I wanted to try Ritalin. I was only on Ritalin for appx. 6 mos. before switching back to Adderall IR.
At first, the Ritalin made me feel very calm & focused; however, I soon began to notice feeling much more 'robotic' and irritable than I ever had when I was on the Adderall IR. I had to switch back because I was beginning to feel very down and too robotic on it. It really stagnated my personality, IMO, and that was quite scary to me.
After I discussed all of this with my Dr., we decided the Adderall IR was the best fit for me. This proved to be true as I have been taking it ever since...and my 'trial' with Ritalin was many years ago!
Best to you!!
