Lawmakers Begin to Limit Ritalin

August 30, 2001
As children head back to school this fall, a growing number of state lawmakers are focusing on what's perceived as the overuse of Ritalin, a drug prescribed to treat children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Minnesota reportedly has become the first state to forbid teachers and other school officials from telling parents they might want to put their children on Ritalin. Connecticut also passed legislation that, come October, will prohibit any school staff member from recommending drug treatments for children.
Many parents seek Ritalin prescriptions for their children after conferring with teachers, who suggest there may be a problem.
This week, a Virginia House committee is studying the alleged abuse of Ritalin and OxyContin (a narcotic pain killer) among schoolchildren.
Rhode Island is also examining how schools may influence parents when it comes to prescribing Ritalin and other drugs used to treat children with attention, behavior or emotional problems.
