My son has been on Ritalin SR for close to 13 years. For him, it has been the perfect medication. He is also in martial arts (a second degree blackbelt) and it has helped him learn to focus, although he does much better on meds than off meds. He is 18yo now, and took a year off meds, but when he started college this year, he asked to resume meds. If you are seeing negative side effects, discuss a change in meds with your doctor.
