i have bad problems with mine too.

i have gone up and down and up and down on dosage over the years.
from extended release ones to the ones where i have to take two a day...

i don't take it super often cause i end up fidgetting really bad sometimes when i am coming down off of it for the day.
also, my appetite is non-existant and it made my anxiety level go through the roof the other day even though i am down to half a 20mg pill a day.
time to go back down i am guessing...

meh.
it sucks trying to find the right dosage since my needs constantly change.

20mg?! i think i would have a heart attack. i usually only take one 5mg for a whole day and i feel like an energizer bunny.

the good news with that drug
is that you can play around with the dosage,
like cut it in half and stuff.

so good seeing BOTH of you ladies on friday night!

I've been taking Ritalin every day for about 3 years, I know the feeling! If I'm not consistent with taking it, it makes me feel like a crazy person! It's like you are so focused, you don't know WHAT to focus on - so you try to do it all. Exhausting!
I hope you are well! I love seeing the pictures you put on here :)

i always forget to take it or i forget where i put the whole bottle. i am so ADD. i'm always jealous of how productive your life seems, it's no wonder how now! did you get my message about starbucks sometime?

The place where those pictures were took looks cool, but that metal and glass door totally throws off the look. I mean, as if I am not already confused enough by a building that looks like the outside on the inside, then there is the door. Shit.

And the windows too. The door should be big and wooden and should come down vertically like those old castle doors.

Also, yeah adderall is crazy. I hate the BigPharm but I am considering getting onto something to help with school and mental organization in general. There is a drug called Modafinil, which serves as a cognitive enhancer without the crazy physical stimulation of Adderall or other amphetamines. They did a segment on NPR All Things Considered about Modafinil yesterday.

i went to a lecture by ghandi's grandson and he said when he was a kid and went to live with ghandi that ghandi would make him do this exercise everyday where he would stare at something for a whole minute and then close his eyes and try to concentrate on keeping that image in his head as long as he could. he said when he first started he could barely keep it in his head a second after he closed his eyes, but after practicing everyday for months/years he could concentrate on that image without being distracted for a long time.
