Re: Questions about Ritalin

Dang that sounds like an awful potential problem with your doctor no_dopamine, I think I may have some of the similar issues/concerns. The hardest thing for me is how slowly the health care system tick tocks along, I always show up for a doctors appointment with a list of topics I need/want to talk about, listed in priority (actually, just came up with that priority part ) Patience ain’t easy for me. I’ll print out that page Dr. J posted for my doc, and psychiatrist. My psychiatrist used to be a pharmacist, I’ve had good luck getting good information from pharmacists, sometimes I think I may be afraid of being judged based on very short conversations and the medications I take, that sux plain and simple. People will judge us, and be wrong sometimes. But I insist on being very involved in my own health care. I have fired doctors, it’s important to really think a lot about it before you replace your doctor if you think you’re not getting the best care available, I like to ask for a lot of advice before making a very big decision like that. I have much more experience in hospitals, and with many kinds of doctors than I would like to have. I’m not the adrenaline junkie I used to be, but I’ve paid dearly for my desire for excitement in the form of hospital stays/surgeries. Ugh, I could go on and on. As usual, but I’m on a new kick to keep my posts shorter. I got the idea on how to keep my posts shorter from watching the hours of interviews about the making of the Star Wars movies. So I try to write each post in a word processor first, then edit out all the useless boring yadda yadda blah blah stuff. I think I’m done with with one. It’s amazing, I didn’t have to delete anything out of this post. This ADD business is terrible, awful, bad, and ugly. It’s a dang can of worms but I’m sure this community can help each other recover from it and the symptoms. I wish I could talk more about all my adrenaline chasing adventures, mostly when I was younger, seemingly invincible… But dat’z against my new “keeping it shorter” rules. This time… Oh I know!, I can put it on a new web site I’ll be bringin back up some time soon. Ack! Eer I go again, huh? Hehe. The website will be a fun place to let myself write lak crazee man!, and track the suckess of recovering from ADD and yackitty yack attacks. Chatty Danny episodes! Etc.
