My story starts. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was five. I was on it all the way up to my 9th grade year. I decided to take myself off of it and have never gone back. My wife now say that she finds me not focusing on my school work and I over load myself so I won’t just fidget. I think in some cases it does help because if I was not on it I would not have made it to the ninth grade. Once I started realizing I control what I do. I was able to control those urges to act out. Now I do find myself day dreaming when I should be on working but that might be normal for anyone who has stopped taking the drug. Real life words from someone who has been there. I can defiantly say that yeah it help but no I was able to put it down and walk away when I realized I control me.

Yea, Ritalin is addictive. Guess how I know. Well, I have ADHD. I increased my own dose, and started taking 800-1000mg a day, everyday. I went to prison for it too. So, yea, when you increase your own dose, IT CAN BE ADDICTIVE. Stay at the prescribed dose, and you will be ok.
