i agree. the crash you get when the ritalin wears off is wearing on a person...im on 30 mg a day...and it is just not working for me...i hate when that crash comes...makes me crazy...but i like the time in between when i can be focused is time well spent...but now that we know that ritalin doesn't work well for me...hopefully they will allow us to start on concerta xl so that we dont have to worry about the crash aspect...it is constant in the system for 12 hours...we really need that...

how awful that you had a teacher say that to your parents, and how terrible that your parents repeated it to you...as if children's psyches are not all that important...forget the "they thought it would help you do better at school". What a shame it was that they said anything at all to you. I'm sorry you had to hear that and live in exile in your sister's shadow. And they think that only children can be bullies...i think children learn to be bullies by watching their parents...and ive met plenty of adults that think nothing of bullying another adult or child to do what THEY wanted you to do...what is this world coming to?
