my DR. didnt like Ritilin in any form because he likened it to a car in the garage with the motor reving all the time. for the non-ADD person it is like speed.

welbutrine is used to stop addictive behavior (why i stopped poping my knuckles) it does impact brain function.

the other drug was really bad, I was looking for a fight all the time and had to keep telling my self to be nice. it was very bad.

so yea, all these drugs cause serious impact to brain function.

I took ritilin when I was a kid. back in the 70's the dosage was higher than now i think. it helped me in school a lot but it gave me night terrors that lasted even after I stopped taking the stuff. bad deal. it was later as an adult, that i read an article linking ritilin to night terrors.

I was prescribed Strattera. Today is the second day to take it.

I do not like it. I have a mild head ache, tired and my skin is crawling.

Monday I see another Doc to talk about Adderall XR.

I am willing to try these things if it will help me focus and not get angry.

I forget things alot and struggle focusing on projects.

I loose my keys, forget were I put things. Just the other day I shut my New sunglasses in the hood of the car. Oof!

But you haven't placed the dish soap in the refrigerator... or your glasses in the freezer.
