No not at all. Ritalin is a central nervous system stimulant (generic name: methylphenidate hydrochloride) that is used to treat attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity in children and adolecents and for narcolepsy in adults. Heroin is more closely associated with morphine; both are considered pain killers and are controlled narcotic substances of opiate derivitives.

Does Ritalin decrease the potency of methadone?

no - methadone does not affect the same neuro transmitters as ritalin. However, I have found in my own personal use of 80 mg Methadone/day (Entire right side back pain) and 10mgx3/day of Ritalin, the use of Ritalin has significantly decreased the duration and total effectiveness of the Methadone - causing me to experience more peaks/valleys, minor withdrawl simptoms and has ultimately led to me making the choice between the Ritalin or an increase of my Methadone, which I am not willing to do. I suggest a trial basis (2 week) to see 1) what dose of Ritalin needed and 2) If another, perhaps non-stimulant, ADHD medication might be a better fit. Hope this helps.

Prescription medications.

Cough medications including DXM also have a high abuse potential.
