Love your name. 🙂

Great advice. Especially the part about how you are going to be 47 in two years anyway. I need to start thinking like that.

Just a quick note, if I can manage to be quick, regarding medication.

If you can get away without taking it, then by all means do so. You are better off that way.

But these doctors that will only try one medication and refuse to consider other options really irk me. If you feel like you need medication, and the Concerta doesn’t work, then you should try something else.

Mine is the same way. According to him, Vyvanse is “the best” and “there is nothing better”, so I’m stuck shelling out over $200 a month for a medication that is really not doing anything for me. He refuses to consider any other options, and when I suggested dropping the  Vyvanse and just taking Dexedrine, he insisted that I still need the Vyvanse, which means that if I refuse to take it, he’ll probably cut off my Dex too, which is the only thing I’ve got that sort of helps.

Okay, that concludes today’s mini-rant.
