Went to the Doctor yet once again! I am now on a long acting Ritalin (Ritalin SR) once a day (should last 8hours) and then 10mg Ritalin BID PRN to help finish my days. She told me to play around as needed to see what is right. She also commented on how well I have done this far without meds. Its true. I have learned to cope in some ways… She asked me if anyone at work has noticed a difference. I said no… But my biggest problem at work was not being able to focus on conversations… I would mask my zoning out with smiling and nodding… Later trying to remember what was said to me or having to ask again.
I mostly wanted meds to help me not feel so overwhelmed by silly little tasks and help put on blinders to carry them out. It has worked great for that! Plus, being able to listen to a full conversation and boring power points presentations has been awesome! Guess I should get dinner going. Need to go to sleep and do another night shift!
What have you been up to?
Have a good weekend!
