Typically I take 50mg of a work-day morning, but not every day. Sometimes I take another 50 at lunch. I don't take it on weekends -- unlike work my family life is neither tedious nor stressful! I'd say the effects show up in about an hour and last a few hours after that. It's a little hard to know when they wear off because once I get "into the groove" of working I tend to stay there.
I'd look up the drug on medline before taking it. I wouldn't trust some anon on a message board. :?)
