This is just a technical question to make sure the SAS codes are correct with the indicators.
For Table 2.2. CSTE Case Definition Adverse Effects, there is an indicator "_____Amphetamines (Includes methamphetamines, Ritalin)", are we making sure to capture both the stimulant--amphetamine diagnosis code, "T43.62", and the stimulant--methylphenidate,"T43.63"?
Technically, Ritalin is a methylphenidate drug and a bit different from the amphetamines (e.g., Adderall), even though the usage may be similar.

You're right, I'm going to take that off from the format to be for T43.62, as the overdose searches are for T43.62. Good catch.
