(My opinion here) - If you don't need medication for your job and you
don't feel you need/want to "improve your brain", why would you
struggle with this at all? Don't take them.

I don't think Ritalin will make any improvements. I think YOU can make
improvements, if that's what you want.

The point is, you CAN improve your brain ("Change Your Brain, Change
Your Life") but I think medication by itself is insufficient unless you
are engaging in a program with intention and support.

There are lots of programs you can employ - neurofeedback,
psychotherapy, various movement therapies, support groups, 12-step
groups, self-education, medications of various types, homeopathy,
acupuncture... who knows? I myself am only at the beginning of a
possibly long journey into this.

I hope this helps.

because the teachers can't handle kids being kids. The whole school
system is designed and run by the accountant types so people like us
have to be medicated to fit in with the rest of the crowd. That is
very sad.

i personally can't see the point of taking it when I not being hammered
with freaking paperwork and forms at work and school.
