"i first started 18 mg once a day, no noticeable change. then increased to 40 mg once a day, at first i seemed to just be calm and zombie like with no change to my add. then, 2-3 weeks later insomnia, paranoia, depression, rage, panic attacks, and severe anxiety consumed me so badly i couldn&#039;t leave my house. i feared for my safety and the safety of others so i stopped the drug immediately! i was having thoughts of violence toward others and myself, i am a 28 year old woman and was on no other medications and no other conditions besides add. i&#039;d rather just deal with my add than all those scary feelings i&#039;ve never had before."
