I started taking Ritalin a few weeks ago (Ritalin LA), and I don't feel like a zombie at all... still feel restless, don't now how much good it's going me, but I wish I could just take them and do really well in school, zombie or not...
it's 10mg, and I usually take two a day (6-8 hrs. apart)...
I had such hi hopes when I started, but I still get distracted easily, can't follow conversations, and my mind is everywhere... maybe it's helped a little bit (or maybe it's a placebo effect and I think I'm doing better but I'm not), but I can't really tell a major difference...
