Yes, they are the same. The active ingredient is Methylphenidate, which is also what generics are called, and Methylin is a brand name of Methylphenidate.

This medication is commonly used to treat ADHD, and the FDA warns that it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, mood changes, and weight loss.

Is there anything else I can help with?
