Linkadge, have you taken modafinil? How does it compare to Ritalin? I'm just wondering, there's no way my doc would prescribe that for me.
A wall, that's a really accurate description of what I'm feeling. It's not benzo robotic coldness, but more like "I don't give a dime" blahs. It's downright scary.
Time for a break, I think. Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it :)
