i have been on/off ritalin (amphetamine-type drug)..only time will tell if this will continue to work well for you..hopefully your pharmacist gave you printed sheet of characteristics of the medication, if NOT, the drug library here has one...suggest you read it and familiarize yourself with side-effects etc..there are many drugs to help ADHD, all a bit different depending on the individuals needs...its up to YOU to record or remember instances of y our life on this med and whether it for you, or time to try another.....
