Ritalin didn't work for me but others did, keep trying to find one. I ended up taking an antidepressant, that as a side effect helps ADD and it seems like it works for me.
450 which is the highest dose, I just kept telling them to step it up, I still have a issues but at least I can study. And you have to be on it for a little while to work , at least it is supposed to, for me at the higher does I can feel it when it hits my brain, and I know people (Dr) will say that's not how it works but that's the way it does for me.
You know when your arm goes to sleep and then you move it and then it feels tingly, like that but with out the pain. I used the get the same effect on some other add drugs, but I cannot take those cause it made my heart shitty, plus I got grouchy on them.
I have had no side effects, although it can increase your sexual desires. But if that had happened to me, I don't knowtice.
I also use an alpha stim that seems to work well too, and can give me a boost. Its a electro cranail stimulation, it's been around since the 70 s , and has some pretty good ruslts from it in studies. I thought it was crazy at first, but for me it works really well. I think it basically puts your brain in more of an alpha brain wave state, which is what you gut when you meditate. The brand names in the US are expensive, but there are some knockoffs on Amazon.
