If you want to try another stim, Adderall XR is very good. I took Ritalin for a few years and like this better, it's smoother. It shouldn't poop out for a long time.

>>>Very seldom but I was taking Klonopin then, too so maybe it would have happened more. Also, I'm an excellent "drug blender". Otherwise, I'm at the point of worry from the moment I wake up in the morning.Smoother sounds wonderful (lol) sounds like we're speaking of a fine wine.
I'm really impressed with Adderall XR, I think without stims the past several years, none of my other meds would have done enough to keep me afloat.

>>> Sure, sounds interesting. I remember 10 years ago, before I got back on meds, I would open the store in the morning, and walking down the isle I would be talking these random thoughts out. My mind was going from one bad thought to the next like a clock. It's good when that stuff is quieted.
Anyway, I'll be around.
