Students are mimicking ADHD symptoms in a bid to get their hands on a drug that can help them improve their concentration.
Ritalin is most often prescribed to sufferers of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). But a handful of young adults have also been using it as a "brain booster" to give them an edge over their competition.
The white circular tablets contain the stimulant methylphenidate and work by activating parts of the brain that allow concentration, "dimming" others.
For a child with ADHD, Ritalin stimulates the production of dopamine - the brain chemical involved with motivation - and helps them to focus on the task at hand.

Sounds interesting. If there's no side effects, I don't mind trying it to see how it works.
