How Ritalin works
Although Ritalin has stimulant properties, when used in doses to treat ADHD, it actually has a calming effect. It is not known for sure how Ritalin is able to calm children with this condition, but it has been well established that this medication works with brain chemicals.
For those that have narcolepsy, Ritalin is prescribed at higher doses and does have a stimulant effect. This can help patients to stay awake and feel alert throughout the day.
