Ritalin increases the levels of dopamine in the brain, affecting thought, movement and motivational abilities. In normal people, this causes increased activity, however in people with ADD or ADHD it has a calming effect.
The possible adverse effects of Ritalin are:
Abdominal pain
Hair loss
Appetite loss
Blood pressure changes
Cardiac arrhythmia
Sweating
Dizziness
Drowsiness
Involuntary Movements
Headaches
Hypersensitivity
Nausea
Abnormal Heartbeat
Pupil Dilation

However, most of these effects are uncommon or intermittent, occurring in less than 1% of people using Ritalin.

Does Ritalin cause bruising?
Not likely. Bruising can be caused by abnormal clotting factors. PT and PTT can be measured and if they are nl then the bruising is probably not related to the Ritalin. It would be highly unlikely for Ritalin to affect the PT or PTT. Actually, Ritalin does cause bruising. This is a rare but serious side effect and you should stop taking the drug immediately and contact your doctor. The PT and PTT may show up normal but once the Ritalin is discontinued, the bruising typically stops.

Will taking Omeprazole and Ritalin at the same time lesson the effects of the Ritalin?
Ritalin is metabolized in the body by CYP2D6, a member of the Cytochrome P450 Enzyme System.Omeprazole is a member of the PPI family of drugs (Proton Pump Inhibitors).PPI's are known to inhibit CYP2C19 = this inhibition would allow drugs metabolized by this enzyme to linger in the body = exerting their effect for a longer period of time.Having said that, metabolic pathways in the body are by no means black & white...it could very well be the case that certain drugs (ie. Ritalin) are metabolized by a combination of these P450 enzymes.For more information on drug-drug interactions search inhibitors of:CYP3A4CYP2D6CYP2C9
