Methylphenidate is a central nervous system stimulant. It affects chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control.

Methylphenidate is used to treat attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is also used to treat uncontrollable periods of daytime sleep (narcolepsy).

Fluoxetine is an antidepressant drug prescribed for the treatment of depression and associated anxiety/panic disorders. It is of particular use in patients with ongoing feelings of sadness, despair, worthlessness, hopelessness, fatigue, pessimism and difficulty dealing with normal daily life.

Fluoxetine, and products related to it, is as effective as other, older groups of antidepressants, with the advantage of fewer side effects and drug interactions. It also does not lead to the same weight gain associated with the older types of antidepressants.

It may take several weeks for the full benefit of fluoxetine to be achieved. During this period it is important to continue taking this medication.

Fluoxetine is also used for obsessive-compulsive disorder and the eating disorder bulimia nervosa.

USES: This medication increases mental alertness. It is used in those who have problems staying awake (narcolepsy) and for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methyphenidate may also be used for treating depression in certain cases.

Fluoxetine is approved for the treatment of major depression (including pediatric depression), obsessive-compulsive disorder (in both adult and pediatric populations), bulimia nervosa, panic disorder and premenstrual dysphoric disorder.[1]
