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.
