I've been taking Ritalin (regular and NOT LA) for almost two years now and I take at a minimum 60 mg/day, sometimes 80 mg depending on my lack of concentration for the day. I tried LA but I didn't like the long effects, I like the short term effects better for my job.

I was in a car accident and had my noggin' bumped a little too badly and because of the brain damage, I am not quite as organized or "together" as before. My thoughts race, can't focus on just one thing...The Ritalin makes a BIG difference...
