I guess everyone's different. My experience with Ritalin wasn't numbing at all; my problem with it was bouts of rage when i was coming down at the end of the day (my coworkers learned the true meaning of nerdrage). I talked to my doctor about it and he now has me on adderall instead, and the only side effect I experience now is loss of appetite - and I'm overweight anyway. I'd like to mention that people should be very careful about seeking treatment with psychoactive drugs. They can often affect you in ways you don't immediately realize, and in some respects affect your personality or inhibitions. Be sure that you and your family are aware of potential side-effects before undergoing such treatments.
