Treating one problem can tip the scale by aggravating a preexisting problem. Like I said in an unrelated post, your health care becomes a trial and error chemistry experiment.

Thanks again for the encouragement and info...And yes, I'm familiar with Focalin, although I've never tried it. I too have insomnia and can definitely relate to your "trial and error chemistry experiment" point.

I'm still unsure of what I want to do at this point... I guess I always have the option of doing nothing, but I will take my time to think it over. Thanks again...peace
