I have read that the way Ritalin works, is to stimulate the brain stem but they are not sure really how it works.
The Focalin, which is newer and suppost to be a more active form of Ritalin? Works by preventing the reuptake of Norepinephrine & Dopamine and releases them?
Is this true? so what is the difference between Ritalin & Focalin? Do they both do the same thing?
and if Focalin does do this wouldn't this be the same as taking Wellbutrin?
