I am currently taking this medication and it took a few weeks to really get the full effects of it. It doesnt make me so jittery or nervous or over excited, it also helps me to stay focused but not 100% like adderall did. If I don't take it I don't really care to do anything but lay around and be lazy, sometimes that can be a good thing but I wish it would help all the time!!! Also didnt make me loose my appetite but I don't eat as much as I did before I got on it (which is a good thing)!
