Focalin has worked well for me, but it has only been a few days. I'm 32 and grew up on Ritalin, in HS I stopped taking Ritalin bc I hated how it made me feel around 3 or 4p. I went years without it....struggled to make good grades last year of HS. Struggled just to go to class in college. Developed insomnia and devastating headaches along the way, and I am 5 inches shorter than the Doctor said I would be. A few years ago I discovered pot. It worked great for about two years using it a few times a week. But it slowly lost it effects and I feel like it changed my personality some. I still smoke, mostly bc the THC takes the "edge" off. Not too long ago I tried meth the drug. It was great, but OBVIOUSLY not a long term solution. Since then, rather than using the hardcore drug, I sought to find the best solution. So far, it has been Focalin, heads and shoulders above the rest. I smoke less pot, I get things done, I sleep, I eat right, I exercise, I'm a better a husband, blah blah blah. I only fear that over time it will lose it's effects slowly and I will be worse off than ever. Hopefully, that won't happen. Right now I am using 25mg Ext once daily around 6:30a. I think it would help to take a little more around 2 or 3......but this is one of the "side effects" ie - craving for more of the drug. I don't want to be doped up every day of my life and wonder why the hell I'm suffering from psychosis in 20 years. I think the biggest question here....why did doctors in the 80's decide it was a good idea to give Meth to kids??? There was a World before pills.

Hey everyone. I am a 24 year old male. I've been on every stimulant ADHD medication there is. I was diagnosed with A.D.D. at the age of 14 and the longest I've been off them was 8 months. Focalin was one that worked the best. However, after discovering the euphoria effect of it, I thought that I could drop out of school (Microcomputer Tech) just read online everything and be good. Well, with ADHD, impuslivity is a HUGE factor. I rang up my credit card bill with stuff I thought I needed, cigarettes and I also was hugely addicted to energy drinks. I got a job while on Focalin XR 40 mg. Things got out of hand. I was to addicted to the euphoria part and ended up taking nearly 150 mg a day than Xanax to calm down. I did it for two reasons. One, I loved the feeling. Two, I loved how people liked how I was so proactive. One day, my ex girlfriend kicked me out, my aunt brought me to the doctor and said no more. 3 months later I ended up in in patient rehab for 30 days than did another 6 weeks of out patient. Nearly a year later, I was put back on Focalin XR 25 mg but the side effects canceled out the euphoria and I didn't want to get back in my old routine. I than got swtiched to Methylphenidate (Ritalin LA) 30 mg with .5 mg Xanax. Ritalin LA lets me actually eat and I am less zombified. And my impulsivness is "less" (I truly think before I buy or say anything). Overall from my point of veiw. Ritalin is my better choice. Also, Vyvanse is one that I highly recomened but it is expensive.
