At first it was great it gave my the motivation to start and finish my projects. Where before I never had the desire to do anything.

Medication does work. Too easy to use and control own dosage. Saved then binged on special occasions.

Comment:
Have been taking Ritalin 35 mg/day for 18 yrs. for ADHD. I am now 65 y/o with a thriving psychotherapy practice. It has helped me focus and stay calm -- wish I'd started it in my 20's.
