Re: What Medication should I take

[caper]

Robert: after I told my doctor the meds worked for me, he told me I shouldn’t have done it but it’s not uncommon. Then he gave me the test and I walked away from the appointment with a prescription for Concerta.

The CADDAC practice guidelines also indicate it is common for adults to request a diagnosis after self-medicating.

billd: the scare tactics don’t work on me, and I hope they don’t work on anyone else. I have given some of my meds to someone else that I thought might have ADHD, and I may even give some to my father. And I don’t go looking over my shoulder for the cops either since I’m not guilty of any crime. I’m in Canada where mens rea is required in virtually all criminal offenses, and for those few statutory liability crimes due diligence is an exemption. i.e. if you make a reasonable attempt to help someone then you haven’t committed a crime.

For those people that have to deal with the American version of the SS, you can try OTC stimulants like nicotine (some studies show it works even better than MPH) or caffeine (often works almost as good as MPH).
