"recently diagnosed with adhd at the age of 22, and am a full time college student with difficulties getting my responsibilities and homework assignments done. started on 40mg once a day with instructions to bump up to twice a day after 3 days if i needed. i refused to bump up because of the crappy effects. i know some people have had great results with this drug, but i was not one of them. the only positive thing i noticed was the ability to tune out outside noises and distractors, but those distractions your own head puts out are still there. side effects: complete revulsion to food, sluggish and lethargic, lack of motivation or enthusiasm, and extreme irritability. by the 5th day, i refused to take it."
