As a post script – I read somewhere that a study had been done on methylphenidate (Ritalin) as a cocaine substitude in addicts trying to come off the habit. So just a thought…. If your son is cocaine positive you should highlight that to your doctor in any discussion about Ritalin. I doubt it’s an issue but I am not a GP so am just flagging up the study in case the two have any relevance ?
