The results concerning focus were good...but I got this wierd "buzz" like caffinated feeling...something that although tolerable is a hurdle when it comes to enjoying life. Does anyone else experience this? Do you think i'll just get use to it..?.

Adderall gave me a horrible crash... it made me obssesive and I had a tendency to ruminate negative thoughts while on it..in turn this led to depression..or at least attributed to it.. Focalin didn't last long at all..it seemed to last only 3 hours for me..and it made me incredibly jittery and anxious.. Ritalin as of the second day, seems to be improving as how I feel on it...I still don't enjoy the feeling but it seems to be a lot better then it was before..ritalin also has a bad crash for me...that lasts about 3-4 hours after school ( I usually sleep through it) I should take it again to prevent crash...but I only like taking it when I really need it..I'll talk to my p-doc for suggestions..
