It takes a while and they probably should've tried upping your dosage. I didn't have success with it in a way that encouraged me to remain on it. It helped me up but it also made me extremely irritable and unable to keep control of it. I think that's a common side effect when you're pretty young.

Talk to them about upping your dosage as soon as you can. I guess, it's nice they're taking it easy but after a certain point they need to move forward.
