"i&#039;m currently going through nursing school at a university near me and from the start of this past semester i had a real tough time staying focused and doing my homework. went to see a nurse apr n and she gave me a script for ritalin, 10mg 2x a day. this medicine has been a god send for me, i always complete my assignments on time and have been getting a&#039;s and b&#039;s on all my test. it lets me sit down and study for 6 hours at a time but if i hadn&#039;t taken the ritalin i wouldn&#039;t have half the work done that needed to be done. plus i&#039;ve not had a single issue with it such as withdrawals or anxiety."
