Ritalin helps attention problems in MS

Administration of a single dose of methylphenidate (Ritalin) significantly improved attention in MS patients with considerable attention deficit. This was the conclusion of a very small study - but probably worth bringing to your neurologist's attention if you are having problems with your attention.

Hey what's that over there?

I've been taking Concerta, 18 mg. (a slow-release form of Ritalin) for years, to cope with fatigue. Works great.
