I\'ve been prescribed to take Concerta
It's like adderall, except you only have to take it once a day.
This was prescribed to me after three sessions on ADD testing, if you could call it testing. It was basically an interview with a therapist lady, and you also took some written tests on personal habits and whatnot. If I wanted the drugs, I could have easily conned the therapist and told her everything she wanted to hear so she could prescribe me. This is how silly the process is. In spite of this, I answered everything honestly and was prescribed to Concerta. When I begin taking the drug I'll let you guys know what it's like. It's the sort of situation where I'm only taking it to see if there's some sort of benefit, and I'll stop taking it after the first semester of college to see if there's a big difference.

Re: I\'ve been prescribed to take Concerta
There is a lot of doubt and controversy behind ADD/ADHD actually being a disease. Before you start taking this drug, do a search on google to read what opponents of ADD's existence have to say.
Methylphenidate, the active ingredient of Ritalin and Concerta, is very similar to cocaine, and is addictive. see here for a long but interesting article. Ask yourself: WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF A PSYCHIATRIST PRESCRIBED YOU COCAINE TO USE DAILY! Bob
