"i&#039;ve been on this medication since i was 9 i&#039;m 21 now. i&#039;ve always had trouble in school and it has helped me a lot to concentrate but without it i can&#039;t focus at all. i became too dependent on it so now that i am in college i cannot study or find any kind of motivation to stay focused if i&#039;m not on it. it wouldn&#039;t be a bad thing if it didn&#039;t make me depressed. recently in this past year i&#039;ve been taking it almost every day again and have been feeling sad for no reason, always thinking negative and very irritable until i put two and two together. now trying to get off once i am done with school next month for good."
