Seems to work the best. gets a little obsessive but we can live with that.

Initially tried 30 mgs, which turned DD into a very strange little girl. Luckily, they came out with a 20 mg pill which has mostly had very positive effects. DD's true potential is showing without many negative side effects. Still having occasional rage issues, though.

My little guy has been on this for the past year. It works very well for him. Side effect though is that he can't sleep through the night without Melotonin.

Gentler than Dextroamphetamine due to some sort of acids... It is designed to be easier on the system. It seems to me anyway to be unnoticeable.... but it does offer a higher energy and focus.... I take it for long term drug. I take Destroamphetamine for short term extra help.

So far so good. I have noticed that he is much more focused when I talk to him. He complained about not being able to get to sleep and headache the first day he took it but after that he has been fine.

I am going to start taking this soon. I'll update later when I know how it works.
