Well, I can wake up to the alarm clock next
to my bed and pick up the bottle of Adderall
and pop a pill and hit the snooze button, but
I can't do much more than that! At 1st I took
the Adderall when I woke up and took a shower,
but I felt too crummy for 1 hr and it was difficult
to even get into the shower, that's when I
started plan B (wake up to alarm, take pill, go
back to sleep). Hey, maybe I can patent a mechanical
device to administer a med in the morning while
you are sleeping! I'd be rich! Maybe I could patent
a med that has now side effects and works for
everyone! I'd be Bill Gates!If I couldn't wake up to an alarm, I would be
very leary of the meds I was taking! What if
your house caught on fire or something?regards,
