Hard to say: Without a review of how you were diagnosed and what treatment you are using, it is hard to make a reasoned answer.Those who respond to psychostimulants as adults will often find a preparation that works for the long term.

Yes: It is a short acting medicine, meaning it only works on a daily or near daily basis. It does not build up in your system so you have to consistently take it for it to remain effective.
