Ritalin anyone? | ADHD Information

Oh, God, YES!

I now could not live without it. Do a search on my posts, specially in ADHD Meds, where I detail a lot a/b all the AD/HD meds.

I'm a research biologist, and love the science of the mind. I'm not a psychologist nor pshrynque, so can't help medically.

I specialize in botanical endocrinology, which has a lot to do with understanding the chemical biology of cellular behavior and communication. Communication between cells, that is. So I understand this stuff quite well, but right now don't want to get into it, cuz I already have, and it's late, and I'm hungry.

Have hope, cuz you're not alone. It's different for everyone. I've been on Ritalnin for 8 years, and I've gained weight. I don't eat much during the day, but for breakfast, b4 the Rx kicks in, and late at night, after they've kicked out, I pig out. Oink.

I can't say I've had any problems with Rit, per se, 'xcept that I'd forget to take it cuz it wore off so fast. So Dalk put me on a timed release one. LA.

As for how I feel, I feel like I can do what I'm supposed to do without getting sidetracked. I don't drink, spend, or other impulsive things when I'm on it. Weekends, evenings, when it wears off, I do the stupid things.

Also, everyone is different. Ritn may not be for you. Joyous26 has been on Strattera, and it isn't doing too good for her. I think she needs Rit or ADDerall. Maybe you need Strattera, or Concerta. What's your Dalk say?

Good luck, good eating, and good night!
