"been taking this for 2 months. i&#039;ve tried nearly every other adhd med. i take ir methylphenidate 10mgs bid. although it helps w/ concentration and motivation in my day to day activities, there are downsides.
pros:
%u2022very cheap
%u2022 makes me feel the best, i genuinely enjoy learning and taking notes in class, among other things
%u2022helps w/ social anxiety disorder, i&#039;m more talkative
cons:
%u2022increases impulsivity (e.g. online shopping, among other things)
%u2022depresses me, makes me more suicidal
%u2022terrible drop off when meds wear off, intense anxiety and depression...

personally, side effects are too dangerous for me and outweigh the pros. hope this helps"
