Yes you are a freak...! But wasn't that one of Dr Bob's questions to get to post here??? We're all freaks here I think...
I can go one freak-event better than you I think:
I buddied up to a pharmacist & managed to get one of those HUGE advertisement boxes for Ritalin SR. It was about 2 feet long, etc. HUGE..! To me it looked like I needed extra-sized tablets. :)
Then I took it to work. {note#1: never take Ritalin & think you're having a good idea}
I think maybe 20% of the staff knew what the drug was & 1/2 of them thought it was funny. The other 1/2 told the other 80% who decided I was not really what senior management was all about.....
Like I said, never think ANYTHING is a good idea on Ritalin... ;)
