  1. Contraindicated in patients taking an MAO inhibitor
  2. Narcolepsy: observe and document frequency of episodes
  3. Monitor BP, HR, and respirations ( may cause hypertension, HR, RR )
  4. Increases levels of neurotransmitters in the CNS. These neurotransmitters are dopamine and norepinephrine. Stimulants work to increase the release of the neurotransmitters and block their reuptake into the neurons.
  5. ADHD: assess attention span, impulse control, and interactions with others
  6. Limit intake of foods that alkalinize the urine (fruit juices)
  7. Monitor weight biweekly (can cause a decrease in appetite)
  8. Take in the morning to reduce insomnia
  9. Increasing the amount of available dopamine and norepinephrine allows for heightened alertness, improved focus, and an overall stimulating effect.
