For ADHD "I would suggest anyone on this, to stop or take a break once you've noticed your reasoning, memory recall abilities becoming hindered. Even though I'm happy with the benefits of focus, it's not worth losing your short-term memory. Over time, I noticed my math skills declined, followed by my word recall, spelling, and now I can't remember stories or study material. It's extremely debilitating, I'm trying to figure out how to reverse the side effects."

For ADHD "I am 39 years old and have been suffering from ADD my whole life. It wasn't until recently that I finally figured out what it was. After trying Ritalin, which didn't agree with me, and Adderall XR, which made me irritable, anti-social, and too engaged, I read the reviews of this and decided to give it a whirl. I'm only on week 1, but compared to the others, I am MUCH more myself with no anxiety! Also, I am shocked at how low of a dose gets the job done. I am on 5 mg once daily around noon. You may think you need more, but start low and see how much changes right before your very eyes. You get plenty done and still wind down after 4 hours. I sleep great, and my appetite is only affected the first 3 hours. I didn't give it a 10 because of some memory issues."
