"i&#039;m 57 years old.  both my sons were diagnosed with adhd.  i went out with a guy with adhd and the symptoms he described were just like mine. my doctor was hesitant about prescribing it to someone my age.  i went home and got it filled and about 45 minutes later i was amazed.  i was talking, being sociable, and enjoying the people i had known for years and barely talked to.  i have never felt some calm.  i thought, &quot;wow, is this what normal people feel like?&quot;  i&#039;m much more focused and productive even though i&#039;ve always been successful and done well in school.  i tried the regular adderall and it didn&#039;t help at all. i&#039;m only taking 10mg and it&#039;s working great!"
