Hi, I've been diagnosed with ADD without the h. My therapist put me on 20mg of Ritalin lp. The problem is that the effect is very strange.

Firstly, I felt a bit stimulated at the start of taking it and then after an hour, I'd say, I felt tired and a bit high, knowing that I'd had a very large meal and that I very often feel tired with a feeling of high (brain fog after my lunch). I tried to work at that point because I felt more like working but I wasn't at all more concentrated, on the contrary. Then the high went away and I just felt tired.

Then things got a bit better and I went off to do some sport, feeling very energetic during it, then afterwards a slight drop in energy and then again 11 hours after taking it, I feel energetic and fit.

I don't understand why I have so many energy waves on Ritalin, knowing that I often have energy waves. Has anyone had the same symptoms? I wanted to let you know because I won't be seeing my shrink for another month.

Thank you for your time!
