It works for some, not for others. If it does work for you, it will be much better than a stimulant because there's no up and down, no off day brain fog or excessive hyper focus. If it doesn't, you may realize one day that you're extremely depressed (medical sense of depression) and that pooping isn't going right (probably constipation, but maybe just lack of appetite, or diarrhea, or?). Just keep an eye on the potential side effects, take it slow, give it a chance, and be ready to bail. It can take a couple months to reach effectiveness.
