>>>I wouldn’t advise you take in when in court though – I’d assume you need your mind to be sharp then. I hope things sort themselves out for you.<<>
It’s good to remember that we all react differently to medz, I take other medications for depression that may or may not interact with ritalin and vice versa. So the generic Ritalin (methyphenidate) I take slows me down just enough to not screw up what I’m trying to do, and keeps me from flying off after the next shiny thing that catches my attention, leaving another thing undone. At least less anyway…
Whatever it is I’m trying to do, I do it better. Smoother. The dosage I started at is extremely low, and I’m frustrated when it wares off and I’m back to my “Scattered” self.
I never want to discourage anyone from being helpful here. So Scattybird, please don’t take offense. Your advice just might be exactly right for our new member. I end up regretting it lot’s of times even when I just share experiences in a way that sounds like advice. Or my opinion, which is what this is. JMHO
I ain’t no termite. (figure that one out, just for fun)
PS since this thread started out as a VENT, I want to vent about how much I dislike that dang clock on the wall. ALL CLOCKS, TIME, and especially deadlines… This adhd stuff really is a bad Monster/Dragon/Beast. At least I’m on my way to taming it. Too bad I can’t make it go away permanently.
Vent #2 waiting for the next doctors appointment when I know I just need to take this medication more often sucks like crazy. Too many drug addicts have made doctors paranoid about medications. Waiting is torture… Especially when I can’t focus enough to read the boring magazines in waiting rooms. I’m waiting for help with patience! fortunately I know the medication is only a part of the solution. More important than I want it to be… Acceptance sucks. yADHDayadda onandon… Blahblah crunchcrunch
