to all parents be careful with drugs like these because i finally got out of their grip I abused this drug and others just like it for the past 10 years with no help from my doctor because i met with him for 5 minutes once every 6 months or so not knowing the dangers til i was 17 and by that time i had been addicted for 3 years no one told me they could kill me just that they were helping me so i just took them by the time i found out it was to late i had become such a good liar with them no one questioned me so here i am 10 plus years later with nothing to show but rotted teeth 1 heart attack and a large majority or my brain fried from countless nights of lack of sleep Im not bitter about any of this it was my addiction i only blame two people my initial doctor that told me these drugs where completely safe and non-addictive (im not kidding he said that) and myself for thinking i could control this because it was a prescription drug that i only was allowed so many of once a month PARENTS PLEASE MONITOR YOUR CHILDREN WITH THESE TYPES OF DRUGS THEY ARE SAFE IF YOU KNOW ALL THE FACTS I DONT KNOW HOW MUCH PAIN IVE COST BUT IF THIS HELPS JUST ONE PERSON I WILL FEEL BETTER ABOUT MY PURPOSE IN LIFE SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL PLEASE Read More Read Less

I have taken this medication for years for the treatment of ADHD and find it keeps my symptoms well under control. Symptoms such as inattentiveness, poor short term memory, inability to follow through with simple tasks.
