I have memory issues, I am barely able to remember what I studied, you can imagine that this leads to problems in uni and therefor I am for 5 years in undergrad despite really working hard as fuck.

So I took Ritalin. It actually does improve my memory a bit, but the heavy downsight is that I sometimes randomly start to cry and "don't want to live anymore" or have to take a break to go to sleep.

It doesn't even reduces my appetite to anorexic levels or destroys my sleep pattern, neither does it influence my fitness, but for the one improvement I get, I get also a chemical imbalance and am more depressed than usual
