"i am 39 and have dealt with my add for all my life. may of 2012 the dr. started me out on 1mg, after a week, i could tell a difference.  like a filing cabinet in my brain. however, i was very tired. so i decided to take at night. (i&#039;ve always had a hard time shutting my brain off to sleep)  next week she upped me 2 mg. after a few days, i started to notice i focus more...great!!, and i was sleeping better!!  she then put me on 3 mg. i couldn&#039;t tolerate it! i started getting hot flashes and thought i was going to pass out!  i couldn&#039;t sit out in the sun, i had to stay in. so she lowered me back to 2mg. a year later and its the best decision i have ever made.  my brain is calm, i am focused and sleep like a bear!"
