Fascinating. I think I should reconsider the Gatorade option! But I'm reluctant to sit on all that sugar all day -- if you drink Gatorade throughout the day, theres this salty-sweet stickiness in the mouth all the time. :-) Better than being dehydrated though. So you have noticed a difference since you started doing that?
I did try Adderall. Started with a small dose, and it immediately gave me severe chest pains. Thinking I'd screwed up my heart, I went to the emergency room, where I found the EKG was normal. So the doctor said most likely I'd had a muscular reaction to Adderall -- it must have tightened my chest wall. Took a week to get over. This is a rare reaction, and it was scary, but thankfully nothing like this has happened with Concerta.
Concerta is so smooth throughout the day. It's a real pleasure when it works, and isn't making me pee all the time!
