Does Ritalin Have Any Side Effects Like Stomach Cramping?
My doctor just put me on the generic form of Ritalin to help with the vegetative symptoms of major depression I have had. I only take half of a 10mg pill, and I have had very painful stomach cramping, feeling like a bad case of diarrhea. What should I do?
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Ritalin (methylphenidate) is a central nervous system stimulant. It affects chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control. Stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, upset stomach are side effects associated with this drug. please consult your psychiatrist for further advice.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
