"i&#039;ve been taking concerta for over 5 years now. at first it helped me focus and get my mind together. it also kick started a great social life and got me a&#039;s through high school. after the first year though i took a downturn. i became almost emotion less and robotic like, that eventful social life degraded, and i felt like a complete loser. it&#039;s a terrible feeling. after 3 years of use i worked to get my social life back and slowly found it once again. even though i was lacking feelings i learned how i could access my emotions through certain mental triggers. now five years later my social life is siralling once again and i&#039;m still getting a&#039;s, but instead of feeling robotic like i now get intense rushes and euphorias followed by depression."
