"i have struggled with add for years and was put on a moderate dosage of ritalin in high school. but it gave me anxiety like you wouldn&#039;t believe. i ignored my add after high school and started dexedrine in college. what a difference! it helps me to focus much better and give me the energy to finish what i start. my procrastination has never been lower. i only give it a 9 because i sometimes need to make myself focus when the meds are an hour or two from wearing off."
