I seem to be one of those who doesn't do well with them, plus I think I'm a fast metabolizer in general.It didn't help with my ADD much and didn't last long enough. My dose was 60mg, spread out through the day. I was encouraged to try coffee once you feel the come down of the stimulant, it wards of the bad side effects. I must also say that Focalin is the best stimulant for ADD ever discovered. Plus it works for a period of 12hours a day, with no withdrawal issues.
