What side effects are you scared of? (I'm nearly 40, got diagnosed and been on medication for about 6 years)
Concerta/Ritalin. Heart failure apparently and potential dependency :/ (not sure if these are the exact conditions in English as I'm not from an English speaking country)
I was also afraid of becoming addicted to them. Considering I can't remember to take them, I probably won't have to worry about that
Lmao that's too funny. But great news too :)
