Methylphenidate (MPH) is an amphetamine-like prescription stimulant commonly used to treat Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adults. It is also one of the primary drugs used to treat symptoms of traumatic brain injury and the daytime drowsiness symptoms of narcolepsy and chronic fatigue syndrome. Brand names of drugs that contain methylphenidate include Ritalin® (Ritalina®, Rilatine®, Ritalin LA® (Long Acting)), Attenta®, Concerta® (a timed-release capsule), Metadate®, Methylin® and Rubifen®. Focalin® is a preparation containing only dextro-methylphenidate, rather than the usual racemic dextro- and levo-methylphenidate mixture of other formulations. A newer way of taking meythlphenidate is by using a transdermal patch (Daytrana®), similar to those used for birth control and nicotine release.
Hope this helps U.

If they think your urine is watered down they will do a PH level test to see if you purposely diluted your UA. It's considered a amphetamine that's why it would show up that way. Why not just do to the doc and get it prescribed???
