"i&#039;m in my mid 30&#039;s &amp; was diagnosed with adhd approx 4 months ago. i started on 10 mg 2x a day &amp; am currently on 20 mg 3 x a day. i tried daytrana, the ritalin patch, but it made me aggressive &amp; hungry! in less than a month i had gained 20 lbs. i&#039;m back on the pill &amp; so far i love it! i wish i had this back in school! unfortunately my mom wasn&#039;t a believer in adhd. i am calmer, can think rationally vs going straight off emotions, the racing thoughts have ceased &amp; i can complete tasks i start now. it&#039;s also given me more motivation in my life. before ritalin i was ready to give up on life &amp; did nothing. i can now take care of responsibilities! my mood has even improved &amp; my patience with my children &amp; people in general has vastly improved."
