No, when did I say that? It works fine for him, no side effects, just lets him function more like he used to. -

I would agree, if you take too much, or take it too late, it will keep you awake, but if you use it properly, it works fine.

He has got MS. Not too serious and he still has more energy than most folk without, but he has been working to set up a business for 2 years and he has to put in some long days. He is lucky his GP prescribes it as some won't. He keeps it to a minimum.Originally posted by Old Hack View PostApologies, I think I misinterpreted what you said.

I wonder what dose he was on today.Originally posted by Old Hack View PostNot at all true. 200mg, a medium dose, keeps you alert and awake all day, with little side effects. I've taken 400mg, but it made me anxious, and kept me awake for a much longer time than needed.Comment
