I had taken ritalin for about 6 months, and it completely messed with my head!. It changed who I was and now I have nervous system damage!. I get head aches and back aches like crazy!.!.!. and after a while it kind of switched and did the opposite of what it did at first, very weird time in my life!.
Hope i helped!.

I took it for depression - and I hated it!. I didn't even take it for 2 weeks, it made me nervous and almost "edgey"!. But that was just me!. I hope your blood pressure is good before you take it, it made my heart beat faster than normal!. good luck, maybe it will work better for you!.

I have been taking it for about six years!. It has worked really well for me!. I do feel kind of edgy sometimes but i think the benefits from taking it definitely out weigh the minor side effectsWww@Answer-Health@Com
