Ritalin Possession

Ritalin is a drug commonly associated with use in children who suffer from attention deficit disorder, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. But in recent years, the drug _ which is a central nervous system stimulant _ has become popular on the illegal prescription drug network.

So, police are watching for people who they believe may be in possession of Ritalin to illegally distribute it.

If you have been arrested for Ritalin possession and, you need to talk to criminal defense attorney Michael Anzalone. He understands New Hampshire’s drug laws and will be there to help walk you through the judicial system. Without an experienced attorney by your side, this could be a very scary journey.

This is a drug that affects chemicals in the brain and nervous system that contribute to a person’s hyperactivity and impulse control. So, this is why it’s a perfect drug for children who suffer from ADD or ADHD.

But, as with many other drugs, this one can be habit-forming if it’s not used as prescribed, or under a doctor’s care. And people who have anxiety, glaucoma, tics or Tourette’s syndrome shouldn’t use it. A stimulant that is improperly used can cause heart attacks, strokes or even sudden death for anyone suffering from heart disease, high blood pressure or a heart defect.

This is one of the drugs that has commonly been part of the illegal prescription drug craze.
