Early last year, i was referred to a top Psydoc, I was having life interefing issues with a long anxiety issue . After several sessions, Xanax Valium, HE BOUGHT UP THE ISSUE OF AN ADD/HD-type problem, i had NEVER entertained the thought of this disorder-NEVER.

he told me about the treatments available in my country.
-Methylphenidate IR 10mg tabs
-Methylphenidate (Ritalin brand) 20mg SR tabs
-Dextroamphetamine USA (Dexedrine) 5mg IR tabs

AND THATS IT!

I was apprehensive about taking Ritalin~(because it's a kiddys pill?)I somewhat pushed for the Dex (as i thought it to work better on adults)-at which point he asked me-judgeingly- if i had ever taken Amphetamines before- NO.

So early last year, i was started, and turned onto stimulants. First 10mg tab 2x daily,then 10mgs 4x daily, then 20mgs 3x daily, now my last script was for a 20mg Methylphenidate dose 4x daily-althought i don't follow this religiously.

Quite frankly i bloody of having to continuely take pills thru out the day. Maybe a single morning dose of medicine (AderallXR Dexedrine SR) would be ok.

All i want is to be like regular folks, and live a normal life.


Cheers
