Does anyone feel not as sharp as they used to be prior to Ritalin? any feedback doses,length would be cool

I haven't heard that Ritalin causes brain damage.

I find that Ritalin actually helps my focus tremendously.

I take 20mgs morning and noon. Then 10mgs about 4:00 pm.

I will say though that the duration sucks as it on;y last about 2-3 hours.

Yer thanks, but that wasn't what i was seeking reasurrance in. I'v read of folks taking moderate dose Dexedrine, Desoxyn for several decades with little ill effect, and of course read of the whole "speeed kills-burnout" thing..

Any feedback on years of treatment, doses, drug, ill effects?

Thanks

yeah I don't think methlyphenidate has the same down-regulation/terminal damage effect that amphetamine has. It might have temporary downregulation but nothing long term.
