My kids and I all went through all the testing with a phychologist about 12 years ago. I used to use regular Ritalin, but then built a tolerance to it, so would go off and on for a few years. Recently I was going to go on Concerta, but $60 co-pay is a bit of an ouch.
It does really help! To me, it's almost like taking a Valium - having a peaceful mind! Otherwise, everyone jokes about how frequently I change topics of conversation! lol!!!!
