"i have mixed feelings on ritalin i am 16 years old diagnosed with aspergers syndrome and add. i started taking 20mg in the morning, after about 10 minutes i would start feeling it, i felt full of energy and moderately euphoric. i don&#039;t know if this is a &quot;normal&quot; reaction but it would make me feel almost manic like. but all in all the effects were  helpful! when i would usually just sit on my computer the ritalin somehow made work enjoyable. i hated math but when on ritalin and in school it was interesting even fun! it made everything feel positive and perfect. the reason i don&#039;t give it a 10 is because it only lasts for 3-4 hours. the comedown from this drug is quite terrible. and it gave me some annoying tics."
