yeah, it's pretty sad, but the idea is to have a kid off of it and working well without ADD or ADHD on his/her own before they realize what they're taking...it has a different effect on young kids, not necessarily opposite effect (helps them focus, fixate, concentrate)..which it makes me fixate or focus really hard, but then eventually I want to hop from one thing to another and can't be happy doing one thing...that's the downside of those prescriptions, you can't ever seem to get high enough to just be happy and leave it alone...you want more, or you want to do something and can't figure out what you want to do, or something to that effect...
