"I&#039;m a 58-year-old female and I&#039;ve taken Ritalin for about 16 years. This drug changed my life. It wasn&#039;t until the 80s that it was determined that you could have ADD without being hyperactive. Consequently, growing up I was considered an under achiever.  I dropped out of college and worked low-level management positions until I was diagnosed. My life changed when I was prescribed Ritalin. I became focused and organized. I set goals and followed a plan to achieve them.  I returned to college and graduated helping me secure a wonderful job where I excel. If you have been prescribed this drug do not hesitate to try it. It&#039;s never too late to be the person you always knew you could be."
