> Wow. I'm so sorry it's so bad. I have a really hard time with meds and I know what you're talking about.... Only you know whether or not to stick with a med, but it does sound like this is over the top. I want to encourage you to hang in there with the process (whether or not you stay with this med) - it isn't always this bad. You know, you might find that you need to start with smaller doses. I'm super medication-sensitive and take only a fraction of what most doctors prescribe. Sometimes I have to start out with miniscule doses. Fortunately, I finally found a doctor who totally gets it and understands that a therapeutic dose, for me, is often unexpectedly low. It is, of course, important to take enough of the medication for it to work well, but this varies for each individual. I say all this to encourage you to listen to your body and work with it. You may have a high tolerance and none of this may apply to you, but I want to mention it, just in case!

Thank you so much for the kind words and yes, I have a high tolerance for meds. I don't know many people that can take 60mg of Ritalin and take a nap...lol
