Can a child on Ritalin have constricted pupils?

I am an adult and I started to take Ritalin 4 days ago. Usually I have dilated pupil, but with Ritalin they are quite constricted. I looked around in my text books and it is supposed to be the opposite to pupil are supposed to be more dilated. I also took effexor last month and my pupils were extra dilated (almost completely black). Yep I am not a professional, but it is very strange. Nevertheless even if with Ritalin my pupils are constricted my eye are very sensitive to light. My own theory will be that in some person Ritalin will increase the eye sensibility to light and than limit the amount by closing the pupil. Makes sense for me but I will still look around.

How come in summer your green eyes get bright golden rings around the pupil?

I have green eyes with gold flecks around the pupil also. But it is just that the gold only shows in bright light, which constricts the pupil sufficiently for the inner part of the iris to show. In dimmer light, the eyes dilate (pupil becomes wider) so only the outer part of the iris is visible. Another possibility is a person with naturally golden eyes, but wearing green contact lenses. With tinted contacts, the artificial color does not go all the way to the center (or the wearer would see everything as being green, if it covered the pupil). So when their pupils are constricted, a ring of their natural color shows through the clear center of the contact lens near the pupil.
