"so far is the 3rd day of taking 10mg of ritalin ir. so far i feel i can finally get work done, less tapping of the feet and less fidgety, talk a lot more, can start conversations, etc. i can think before i act but sometimes i act out but not as much. but however my hands shake a little. and takes longer to &#039;kick in&#039; it takes 40 mins to an hour   a half. but when it &#039;kicks in&#039; it lasts up to 4-5 hours. it really does help with my moderate adhd."
