Ritalin is the common name for methylphenidate, classified by the Drug Enforcement Administration as a Schedule II narcoticâthe same classification as cocaine, morphine and amphetamines.1 It is abused by teens for its stimulant effects.
There are special rules for medications that are controlled substances. Also, there are five different groups (or schedules) of controlled substances, each with its own specific rules. Ritalin, along with most other stimulants, is a Schedule II controlled substance. This means that the drug has a legitimate medical purpose, but is likely to be abused (see Ritalin Abuse). Because it is a Schedule II controlled substance, there are special rules for prescribing Ritalin.
