RITALIN - its side effects on young pianists

on: June 05, 2015, 09:49:19 PM

Hi,

Does anyone of you have a young student who is on Ritalin? If so, did you notice any side effect of this medication on him/her?

Looking forward to your replies!

Hey, I used to take Ritalin, when I was a kid. The doctors thought I have ADHD, because I'm so hyperactive and full of energy. It turns out I have Asperger's Syndrome.

I forgot the side effects, because that was a long time ago. I'm 27 now.
