> I hear you talkin',Rach3,I felt the feelings of anxiety,quick-tempered,snappy and crappy,up-n-down,phoooeyy!I take Dexedrine and I think it's pretty much in between Adderrall and Ritalin(or Concerta).The time-release sounds like it will be good for you.My daughter has been on Ritalin,in the form of Concerta,for 5 years.She is still only 10,but she takes 72 mg.a day (2 36's)because of tolerance.She stays thin as a rail.Be careful that what you feel,may simply be the way a girl is suppose to feel like!That's why the Doc has you takin' them!It will be fine,just stay mindful of the facts,and enjoy your life.See ya,Festus

Yea I take 36 a day and it definitely has no impact on my appetite since I am always playing tennis and conditioning. Yea, I hate those snappy feelings, they feel so unnatural and uncontrolable. But, it helps me so much in school with staying organized and focused...I don't know I just have that hang up with needing something in the first place to help me with that...I just feel like drive should come from within and if I'm not driven without medication than am I lazy? or am I depressed? So, I just have those inner arguments, anyways, thanks for the feed back, it was very much appreciated!
