I love this medicine, it has helped me focus in school and in my everyday activities. I have been taking concerta for roughly 12 years now, and when I don't take it I do realize a change in concentration. It is all I have ever take for my ADD and I would highly recommend it.

I first reviewed this in January. I have been taking Concerta now for 5 months, 18mg. I love it. I don't feel like I get over focused and if I happen to not take it for a few days I don't get depressed. (This happened to me several times with Ridilin). I highly recommend Concerta.
