Methylphenidate Followup

I have been taking Methylphenidate ER 10 mg. for around a month now. I take one pill daily, usually between 10 or 11 am. I have not been tired at all in the afternoon since I started. This is like a miracle. I asked for something to help with my constant fatigue and this is the answer for me. I go to bed around 11:30 pm and have no trouble falling asleep.

I asked my doctor to write a prescription for 3 months, but learned that it cannot be prescribed for that amount of time because it is a controlled substance. Since it is prescribed for ADHD, I was hoping it would help with my concentration, but so far I have not noticed. I’m just so happy about staying awake all day, that it doesn’t matter.
