In reply to medications and handwriting, posted by linkadge on January 20, 2006, at 20:13:09

My hand is always very stuff. I have to squeeze the heck out of the pencil when writing for some reason.

The quality of my handwriting is directly related to my alertness level/interest level/mood at the time.

Caffiene helps, amphetamine make my handwriting excellent.

when i'm feeling 'ocdish' ie in a mood where I love taking notes in a certain manner, like organizing my notes, labeling graphs in very small writing... my handwriting is very good.

My fine motor skills are poor. when trying to control my arm, to move the pencil across say 1/4 a sheet of paper, I cannot control my movements smoothly. My hand will make unpredictable 'jerks' and I cannot accuratly start or stop a line, for example.

the above symptoms can vary from as described (very bad) to almost non-existant.

really, its a dopamine thing.
