What Causes Memory Loss And Concentration Issues After Taking Ritalin?

I was on Ritalin when I was a child. After high school I no longer took it. Now I m going to nursing school and working part time. I find myself not being able to concentrate. I ve been forgetting to finish one thing and start doing something different. I really want to graduate but I m afraid that I can t keep my mind on one thing. Could I possibly need to go back on a medicine since I m an adult now?

Hello,

It is not related to Ritalin.

If symptoms persist you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
