>3. Are there any long term effects from Ritalin, and can it
>be discontinued easily?

	Well, the FDA seems to think it's addictive... my experience with it
(off on weekends, evenings, and in the summer) would appear to say otherwise.
There is some appetite suppression, which allegedly may lead to growth
suppression, but I have some doubt about this (I'm over 6'1").
