If rtln is ritalin then no, there is not a link between that and school shootings. That was Oliver North bullshit along the same lines as RFK Jr trying to link Tylenol to autism.

I take a higher dose of the generic for Ritalin and it doesn't numb any emotions as far as I have noticed over several years. I'm not as impulsive when it is in my system, but that has more to do with being able to calmly think about things before doing them which was the intended outcome of taking medication.
Yeah it might've looked like my emotions were numbed on it as a kid, but that's just that it let me think before I acted
What i read was long before this even (+- 2011) and linked more to psychopathical behaviour then violence but yeah i worded it the way i did because i wasn’t sure about research in the last decade
To be fair i had a very strong reaction to it even on a super low dose, long term side effects caused a lot of scars eventually. But i know for many people it does great.
