[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 48599, member: 1550"] When I was given Ritalin for myself, it made me "high." Then it plunged me into a depression. I have bipolar II. But remember it's speed. Stimulants can wreak havoc with your moods, especially if prone to mood disorders. I've experienced it first hand. I don't know if it helped my focus or not, but I quit taking them fast as I didn't like the "rush" it gave me, then the plunge. My son, who is mild-mannered and not bipolar, got aggressive and mean on stimulants. He is on the autism spectrum. We decided not to worry about his focus and that we didn't like the changes in his personality. We got a "no homework" clause in his IEP. We didn't want to fight the BAD fight at home every night and felt it was not worth it to have our son's happiness and the family peace disrupted by homework wars. [/QUOTE]
