I was on a short trial of it. It is very expensive and very short acting. If you are used to slow-releasing amps like Adderall, you may not like Focalin at all. Whenever I tried it, it would kick in very fast (within 30 minutes), but it would noticeably begin to wear off within about 1 1/2 hrs of taking it. Within 2 1/2 hrs. there was a crash, which was unpleasant. If you want to try a methylphenidate product and like the smooth releasing action, you might want to try Concerta instead.
