User Comments about Methylin

24 Jul 2010

Its weird, I thought I was going to have these awful side effects mentioned often. The only side effect, and for 2 days was mild nausea. It was prescribed for add. I do have a history of depression and I am currently going through a lot of stress. It has not helped me to concentrate more and I feel just as tired as before. Yet, for some reason, it has helped a lot my anxiety and stress. Right now, I am not sure if I should stay on it to deal better with stress and problems although it does nothing for my add?
