> When I was younger I was perscribed ritalin, and it just made me sleepy so I stopped taking it. Now I take a more modern medication and it works wonders.

I don't have ADHD, but I'm curious what the modern one is.

Back in middle school, around 2001, I did a report on ADD and ADHD, and 3 of the medications that existed for it: Ritalin, Cylert, and I'm not certain of the third but from the other comments Adderall sounds like it could be it (though I think it started with a "D", is there one that does?). The only thing I remember from it is the conclusion that if I got diagnosed and needed medication, I'd refuse Ritalin, and that Cylert seemed like the best of the three.
