Is Ritalin 5mg twice a day a lot?

Question

I feel distracted and unfocused a lot and have been on Ritalin and seems to help but would rather not take it. Is it easy to just stop taking it? and are there better drugs to help you focus and be more productive person? Thanks

Answer 1

5mg twice a day is barely enough to make a baby mouse focus, don't worry.

If you go off Ritalin for a month or so and then go back on it, you get headaches the first few days - week, thats it.
