Hey man,

Ritalin is in the psychoactive drug class known as phenethylamines which like you said are powerful central nervous stimulants. I'm no doctor so you should discuss this with a licensed physician.

That being said, my advice would be to discontinue use immediately. I'm not sure how your brain responds to the medication but plenty of young people are prescribed stimulants for conditions where they actually shouldn't be taking them.

For instance, when I take a stimulant drug, a rush of neurotransmitters known as dopamine and epinephrine rush through my neural synapses. This offsets the natural balance known as homeostasis and this problem is exactly what our injured brains are already dealings with. In my opinion, taking stimulants would be just feeding fuel to that fire and requiring your brain to work harder and in effect delaying your recovery.
