I don't take it often bc I don't need it all the time but my husband has pointed out that I am a different person when I'm taking it. I started reading and i think it helped with some depression I didn't realize I had. But I also up and downs of being tired and awake. I do notice the effects wear off quick. So I just take it a little later in the day.

It's a 2-3 hour ordeal sometimes.

The second issue is that they dont last as long as it supposed to. If you have an early start to your work week, dont bother taking them until late morning. Even after diet changes,exercise,supplements, and restful night sleep, It is still a ... Show Full Comment

I went from having a terrible time in college focusing and remembering anything. I was getting strait Cs across the board, but now with the medication I'm getting all As wish I started sooner.

Helps very well although the 30mg XR doesn't last long, I'm also on a regular one for late afternoon early evening due to the XR wearing off.
