In middle school I've always been taking these pills called Concerta which I liked and it help me well but now I'm at the age 22 the old doctor retired in this new doctor came and decided to switch my pills to Citalopram which has so many side effects it's terrible these pills are making my heart race.

I sure do, or did at least was diagnosed with ADD as a child. They say I grew out of it. Not sure of that's possible though. I did start smoking pot on high school, and they say it helps. Who is they anyway? Has anyone ever wondered when a person says "They say" who exactly they is? Or are?

Yea those pills did the same to me. I couldn't eat lunch, then after lunch I'd start to come down and it made me angry. Angry to the point I wanted to hurt people for minor reasons. It got to the point I was pretending to take the pill, and just throwing it away.

No this happen before they were on the pills. They were copying what they saw on tv while my sister was upstairs. She never pays attention to what they're doing she doesn't even teach them anything that's why they are so hyper they don't know when to sit still or what not to touch
