Hello, Kim! How are you?

No, Focalin is still available in the U.S., it is now classified by the FDA as a schedule 2 drug, due to its abuse potential.

Focalin contains the active ingredient Dexmethylphenidate, it is most commonly used to treat ADHD. Typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, nervousness and weight loss.

Is there anything else I can help with?
