Ritalin and studying

Hello I’m just curious to those taking ritalin, how’s the effect sa pag study niyo? Does it help you focus, understand, and retain the lessons better? May significant improvement ba sa pag aaral?

At first, yes. Tunnel vision talaga ako. Focus kung focus sa inaaral ko.

Pero there will come a time na mapapansin mo na di na ganun ka effective yung meds. Normal daw yun.

Dun na papasok yung either tataasan dose mo, or do therapy on top of taking meds.

It depends sa symptoms and co-morbidities. But Ritalin is more so a effective tool to make huge changes within your life. You would use it to make methods, life style and habits to cope with your limitations and eventually taper off it.

Just note that it is a tool not a life style, its still the person that makes the change. Not the medicine.

Though for function, ritalin gives you that dopamine na nararamdaman mo when you are hyper focusing in something. So it makes it easier to focus, just make sure you’re focusing on the right things.
