Ritalin (Methylphenidate) is one of the most popular medications prescribed for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the United States. There are several overseas & foreign pharmacies that sell Ritalin (made by Novartis) or its generic Methylphenidate online. Although it is possible to buy Ritalin Online it is not legal to buy and import this medication over the internet if you live in the USA. U.S. laws require that you have a face-to-face consultation with a U.S. licensed physician. Ritalin is currently listed in the U.S. as a schedule II controlled substance. 

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects up to ten percent of children in the U.S. The cause is unknown and there is no cure, but medicines can relieve the symptoms by stimulating the brain and improving mental concentration, memory, and behavior. Stimulants are the most common medicines prescribed for children. They include methylphenidate (brand name Ritalin or Concerta), amphetamine salts (Adderall), and dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine).
The effectiveness of stimulants may vary depending on the age of the child. Research shows that methylphenidate improves behavior in 30 to 70 percent of children. Treatment improved attention and interactions with fathers, mothers and other children.

Studies of children ages five to twelve showed that about 70 percent have some benefit from stimulant therapy. These children had improved concentration, school performance, self-esteem, and relationships with family members. It is said that methylphenidate, amphetamine salts, and dextroamphetamine work equally well, although methylphenidate may be slightly more effective for school-aged children who have anxiety with ADHD.

Benefits of stimulants usually appear within the first week of treatment. Children who don’t respond to one drug may have more success with a different one. In some cases, a combination of medicines works best.
