Worked, but needed something longer lasting. No side effects.

Ritalin has always worked for her since she was in 2nd grade and continues to. When she was young, she would crash when she was coming off it. I would put her in a room with her blanket and TV on to calm her down. Also, she wasnt hungry when she was on it. As a young adult today, she is fine. No crashing anymore.
