This works well for energy, but there's a payback at day's end. She has gone farther than her body wanted to and she'll fall asleep mid-sentence

For me this has been amazing (been taking it for 2 months). The only draw back I have had is about 2 hours after I take it I am so focused that I actually realize," wow im really focused". plus after it wears off I am either compleatly dog tired or so energized i can't sleep. In my job I get regular Adrenaline rushes and from the meds it takes me a little longer to get calm again. I will say that it makes my heart race too, but that has gotten better with time and adjustment.

Taking it now, and I'm starting to feel some effects. Unfortunately I'm still stressed out.

I used it until I retired.

of all the stimulents Ive tried ritalin is the best for me. It has the longest staying power in terms of months used (the longer you use these drugs the less effective the same dose becomes) and it makes my mood brighter for awhile. Dosage 30mg X 4 times a day 120mg.day I started out at much smaller doses.
