I have been on Ritalin for 5 years when I was a teenager. The side effects are strong, the benefits are weak.
Side effects:
* After eating I do not feel full. Never. There is a feeling of "my stomach starts to hurt, there is hardly any place left".
* I am scared of the dark, I remember all the horror movie snippets I have seen in my life
The side effects still reside today
Benefit:
* After getting off Ritalin, my marks in school dropped by half a grade. Which is not that much, I still ranked best of class.
It was a good decision for my personal development to drop Ritalin.
