"my son has been taking ritalin for around 6-8 months and the difference in him is just unbelievable, he&#039;s school work has improved, he&#039;s spelling and comprehension has gotten a lot better and he has excelled in maths and can actually remembers what he has learnt. he socially gets along better with other children and is less destructive when in a group setting. i was very hesitant to put my son on meds but now realise i made the best choice for him."
