This medication is a central nervous system stimulant. If it creates any side-effects, it's best to discuss them with your physician or therapist since there are other options such as methylphenidate (Ritalin) which is short-acting and, if taken appropriately, can be out of one's system by bedtime.

No you need to discuss this with your therapist.
