It seems to help me with the ADD symptoms at first, but that benefit seems to have a delayed negative boomerang effect that doesn’t make much sense. Each time after taking it continuously for a year, it stops working, and starts causing concentration problems and memory loss. I'd swear that I've seen this effect all three times, and that's why I got off of it again a month ago. Three strikes.

> I am the Director of a child care program, and need to think quickly, and remember many bits of info. If this dosen't go away I will have to stop the med. I have had no other side effects lately that I've noticed.
> I really hope this is temorary!
>Hi again, I talked to my doctor, and she suggested that I take my pill at night instead of in the morning to alleviate the memory/concentration problems. She thinks because the med has a sedative effect on me,that it is slowing down my thought process. I'll try this, but if it dosen't work I'll have to go off this. She gave me a prescription for zoloft in case I want to change meds, but I've heard alot of scary stuff about this drug. The side effects from this one have been disturbing enough.
