SteveG replied to Sweet Lady Green Eyes's discussion Ritalin"That's good....if you are one who's satisfied with taking all the meds. For me, it's all about getting off of them with the same effect.

Randall replied to Sweet Lady Green Eyes's discussion Ritalin"No, I don't recall it making me sleepy, but i took it only in the morning. So it was probably wore off by evening time."

Hans Miniar Jónsson replied to Sweet Lady Green Eyes's discussion Ritalin"I know someone who has a boy with severe ADD and can't take any prescription medication.
