Your own quote literally states that methylphenidate didn't appear to cause any of these problems.

Q: what's the most widely prescribed ADHD medication?

A: Ritalin / Methylphenidate

It's almost like ... you work with your doctor to identify an effective treatment that balances the costs and benefits for your particular situation.

This applies to most medicines and it's why we have a set of people trained to navigate those tradeoffs. You seem focused only on the negatives of ADHD meds, which are real, without acknowledging that for some patients there are large benefits too. That seems kind of myopic.
