They lasted me 12 years so far. Same dosage.

A feeling of euphoria means your dosage is too high, and people without ADHD probably shouldn’t take these drugs.

If the studies involved people that were on the drugs normally, it’s also not a particularly surprising result. The drugs induce a very real chemical dependency, and you will not feel like yourself or that you are performing when you are off of them.

That is honestly my only complaint. Without the drug, I am essentially a vegetable. If I go cold turkey, I can barely stay awake. However, it’s still a lot better than my life was before.
