Methylphenidate 10mg is a central nervous system stimulant used primarily in the treatment of ADHD and narcolepsy. At this dose, it increases dopamine and norepinephrine levels in key brain regions, improving focus, impulse control, and wakefulness.
The immediate-release form has an onset of action in 30–60 minutes and lasts for 3–5 hours. Methylphenidate may also be used off-label for resistant depression or cognitive enhancement in selective neurological disorders. Common side effects include insomnia, decreased appetite, increased blood pressure, and anxiety.
Misuse or chronic high-dose use can result in psychological dependence, cardiovascular complications, or psychiatric symptoms such as agitation or paranoia. It is classified as a controlled substance due to abuse potential, and caution is advised in those with a history of substance misuse or severe anxiety.
