Question How long does it take for ritalin to work, and did ritalin work for you, and why?

Hi, I just got a prescription for ritalin and was wondering if anyone had great results with this? This is my second post, and I described my symptoms under the thread called "do you have to be hyper to have add?"

No, but my father was a major drug and alcohol addict and I dunno. I'm having a MAJOR problem in school, and I dropped out so many times because of my concentration and learning problems. Like, when I read, I have to read over and over again, I'm constantly misplacing things, I have real bad test anxiety. Plus, my doc said that my dad was probably an addict as a result of ADD. I don't know, I just want to excel in school but I'm having problems. I've ALWAYS struggled in school and i'm just sick of it. Did you read my other posts, lol, it's kinda embarassing but it's true I think. I took a test online and it said to consult a physician because it indicated severe add. I figure it like this, God blessed me with good health, no depression, manic depression, good looks,etc but he didn't give me the brains,lol.

No, I never did think about it but it's funny cause my dad owned 3 barber shops but they all went to crap as a result of his addiction. How would I get started, I don't have great credit by the way, but it's starting go get better. Maybe it's the add, huh? BTW, how did you know I was good looking,lol?
