I've been taking Ritalin for a week, with no results. No side effects, which is a plus, but definitely no effects in the way of focusing. I made the mistake of renting "Charlie Bartlett" the other night, and the title character takes one pill and goes on a study blitz. Later he takes two pills and ends up high in his underwear running around in the street. Once he's arrested for the above he sells the remaining pills to his high school peers at a dance which instantly becomes a topless rave.
So maybe that's farfetched, but I've even upped my 5mg dosage to 2 pills at once and I'm experiencing nothing. Not even a high, which I would think I would feel if I wasn't ADD. Same with Strattera although with that I had side effects. I just want my brain to feel normal. What gives?
