It works great for some but for me it's one of the worst drugs I've ever tried. I made it a few weeks before I gave up on it. The side effects were terrible, I felt like shit until it cleared my system. I didn't notice any benefits from it.
Yeah, I tried it for a few months before the horrible side effects made me stop. Never saw a noticeable difference in my ADHD.
I'm sorry for your bad experience. Could you share how long you tried to take it (I assume everyday also?) and what side effects you experienced?
It's been awhile but from what I remember I must have made it more than a month but less than three months. Side effects were I felt bloated, pissed off, sweaty, regularly thought I needed to piss but then didn't/couldn't, had terrible insomnia and nightmares, nausea, erectile dysfunction, and generally felt like I was being poisoned. Of all the drugs my shrink had me try it was the absolute worst.
