A member asked:
I've been taking ritalin on and off as needed for studies etc. working now, the side effects and immune system drops become too harsh. any alternatives which will limit the side effects?

Caffeine: You can do what most adults to maintain focus and use caffeine. At least in the US it is available in capsule form under the name No doze, but strong coffee works for most. With any such brain stimulant you will have some issues. with caffeine you pee more but seldom have supply issues.
