I am a sophmore and I take it!. It works really well!. I have been on it for 4 years and it's helped me get straight A's so far in high school!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My daughter takes it!. I have noticed no side effects except we tried a dose that was too much for her and she became a well-behaved zombie!. After some adjustment she turned into a well-behaved child with a sparkle!.
She has also gained weight, but she used to be borderline too-thin so this was a good thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

With my cousin who is now 19 she had no side effects!. It worked as it was suppose to!. She wasn't a zombie, and she actually graduated from high shool!
My son who failed a grade is now taking concerta is like a different kid!. He seems less likely to freak out when the pressure is on to complete an assignment!. He is focused, and isn't lost in a time trance!. I havent noticed any effects yet but he has only been on it for a month!. Which is why I gave you long term situation above!.
