I’m thinking of asking the psychiatrist about it next time I see him.
Are you having trouble concentrating or with attention span?
Just be careful as it is an amphetamine and has a rather high potential for abuse as far as psych meds go, probably the highest next some benzos.
I was put on Ritalin when I was 7 for ADD (without the hyperactivity) and took it until age 14. It wasn’t until my 20’s that I ran into problems with the stuff.
i think you need to have a job or be in school to get it. according to the FDA.
No you don’t. I got it when I was out of a job and not in school.
I’m gonna ask my new psychiatrist if I can get back on it. It helped me focus big time. I have ADHD and it was awesome. I was told by my last psychiatrist that she wouldn’t give it to me because she thought it would make the voices in my head worse. I was pissed because I’ve got the voices under control and I realize that they’re not real. It wouldn’t bother me to hear more voices. But I was sick when they prescribed the adderral to me before and I didn’t notice that the voices got worse. In fact they seemed to quiet down. So, hopefully if my new psychiatrist says that he won’t prescribe it to me for that reason, I can explain my experience with it and he will give it to me.
