"i&#039;ve been taking stimulants for add almost all of my life... except for high school - man, did, i fall apart then. parents, never take your children off these medicines if they&#039;re on them for a reason and doing well. i&#039;d continue the route. 

this medicine is alright but i do not like the &quot;come down&quot; of it at all. makes me very irritable and angry, then extremely depressed. it does give me a burst of energy which gets me motivated to start doing things and what not - which i like, but, just the come down is brutal. i don&#039;t like methylphenidate. i want to try adderall as i heard it is less intense. anyways, make sure you drink a lot of water on this medication and try to eat something."
