>I used to self medicate with Codeine (OTC here) 300mgs with a cup of coke would lift my mood, motivate me, was a better anxiolytic than Valium.
They changed the formula and now i can seperate the Codeine.
First off i never abused/was addicted to anything until i went to see a Psych at age 31, he diagnosed me adult ADD?HD and gave me 20mgs daily Ritalin, i am now scripted 100mgs, and picked up 35 20mgSRs 2 days ago (700mgs MPD) and have 1 left.
I used to think Ritalin was a mild kiddies pill for school, i NOW KNOW why it's a sch ll med, along with D-amphetamine, script Methamphetamine and L@D amphetamine salt pills and is a strictly controlled drug.
I wish i knew.
