Hi ya,
many people report that Ritalin causes more introversion and less social outgoing aspects, I have noticed some of this to, even thought it is VERY effective for hyperactivity, these effects have been seen in animal studies too. Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine) seems to produce more outgoing social, effects with many, and many combine it with an anxiolytic. There were many Dex+anxiolytic compounds combined in the one pill in the 1960s and these were VERY popular.
Amphetamines generally (probably due to their monoamine output+reuptake properties, as opposed to Ritalins monoamine reuptake only)tend to promote more social outgoing effects.
Of course Ritalin and other methylphenidate pills, can promote increased social effects in some, if they relieve the individuals depressed mood and increase their energy levels.
Cheers
