after being diagnosed with ADHD, I’ve been prescribed Dexmethylphenidate. I’m kinda nervous about my first dose and how it will make me feel. Anyone have any experience with this?

I had Methylphenidate for a few months. I had them for few months but wasn't sure it worked for me. So I have not been taking it for the last few months.
