Working on a bunch of paperwork tonight so just a quickie - Ritalin.
Methylphenidate/Ritalin is probably the best-known ADD drug. It's just another phenethylamine - the broad class of drugs which includes pseudoephedrine, amphetamine, and MDMA. Another phenethylamine that is used in the treatment of ADD is simple amphetamine, which is sold as Adderall.

I love the apparent paradox of treating ADD/ADHD with a stimulant. You'd think it would make people explode with activity or something.
I believe ritalin selectively stimulates the concentration center of the brain.
