Opium.
Ritalin (methylphenidate) and methamphetamine are different chemicals whist they are both stimulants Ritalin will never produce the same effects which meth will, the effect will be similar yet much weaker.
the receptors on the postsynaptic membrane
In the nervous system, permissive action refers to one neurotransmitter enhancing the effect of another neurotransmitter. This occurs when one neurotransmitter prepares receptors to be more responsive to another neurotransmitter, allowing for a more amplified response.

The effect of Ritalin depends on how much and how you take it, if you take Ritalin in the way it is supposed to be taken then you will be able to concentrate more and be less distracted, however if abused Ritalin becomes more like speed and the user becomes happier and the work/task he/she has to do becomes more exciting and they become more motivated to do it.
How a neurotransmitter interacts with the receptors determines its effects. They activate receptors to perform specific functions in the body.the type of receptor
Ritalin has stronger effects yes. Marijuana isn't that bad of a drug other than the risk of lung cancer and obvious effects (feeling fatigue, peranoid, hungry, confused). Neither drug is that bad in moderation.
Not likely. Bruising can be caused by abnormal clotting factors. PT and PTT can be measured and if they are nl then the bruising is probably not related to the Ritalin. It would be highly unlikely for Ritalin to affect the PT or PTT. Actually, Ritalin does cause bruising. This is a rare but serious side effect and you should stop taking the drug immediately and contact your doctor. The PT and PTT may show up normal but once the Ritalin is discontinued, the bruising typically stops.
Ritalin is much more speedy and for some more overbearing and affects mood. Talk with your doctor an read up online. www.adderall.tk is one resource.
Mouth sores are not a listed side effect of Ritalin. However, taking a stimulant medication such as Ritalin can cause dry mucus membranes in the mouth. In certain people, dry mouth may lead to sores. Biotene is a mouthwash which helps with dry mouth.
