Ritilan was a disaster. It had me acting like a speed junkie and it cranked up my mania.

It worked when I was younger.

it works, but these things are designed for little kids. 10mg? For a 166 lb man is only effective for two to three hours. It works though.

It worked for me but I wasnt myself when I took it and it made me sick :p

Gets me out of the house when I do have a job, and don't abuse it, so it does work for me. My focus and attention are better on this.

Consistent sleep that is refreshing was the first noticable difference. Consistent thought on topics that require my attention. Dramatic ability to complete things that have been on the back burner for years. Little giddiness if my dose is high, take 50mg daily at the moment, seems good, though still only been 6 weeks.
Stable thoughts have effected my ability to apply my best efforts to what I desire. Not what the random thought invites me to do, as was always the case.

Made me feel psychotic and was difficult to titrate. The doctor who prescribed this to me 20 years ago was irresponsible in his prescribing of the drug.

I use it for homework and stuff and it works great when I only need to concentrate or go in public for a short period of time.
