    Just wondering because I have this paper due soon about kids and Ritalin, and have to find out all the pros and cons so I can get a better idea of how this drug influence children. I want to hear some personal experiences and also whatever you know or have heard about Ritalin. How does it affect you? Is it what Katt Williams says about his kid sitting on the floor for hours right after the pill, and that he is actually thinking about running but can't? Any facts or experiences welcome

    Thank you. Btw, this forum is much cooler than the rest!

    Hehe, maybe not, lack of patience I know. But I am not trashing this forum in any way. People answer more here so thought I would give it a shot and see if Ritalin user had something to share that I can use on my fun paper.
