> Ritalin in particular has always been used for "anergic depression." Back when it first hit the market, they used it as a "psychic energizer" and for those pesky kids who wouldn't sit still and watch "Leave it to Beaver".

> I don't say that to make you angry or anything, I'm just saying that you should maybe lower your expectations of the meds and focus on non-medical ways of coping with your problems. Obviously, there's therapy. There's also alternative help, like orthomolecular psychiatry.

You really need to stop lecturing people on what they need to do. When a question is asked I thought the rules stated that you answer the question. What a person asks is what should be answered. You are lecturing people when you don't know what their mindset is. How do you know what their expectations are from drugs?
After what you did when you came back to babble
you really need people teaching and helping you with some of your emotional problems. You seem to have a need to have power over people and be in a role of leadership.
You were irrepsonsible when you basically told people the path to getting better was get rid of your meds and follow Christ. Don't you realize the naive may have followed you advice and had disasterous results because they followed you.Than you reenter babble and go woops I made a mistake. I will need the drugs at times.
1. So you will now define when we need drugs and when it is acceptable to take them based on your experiences.
2. Wow you just can't stop. You have no right to lecture and assume a leadership role when your own life appears to be in chaos. You just give yourself a pass everytime you can't follow your edicts and redefine the book of Christ Emp.
3. You appear to be the one that needs a leader not vice versa...
4. When you came back into babble and did the woops I made a mistake everyone was so kind and understanding. Maybe you need people holding you responsible for your actions.
But you Mr. Christ need to start looking inside of yourself and when you have attained perfection you can start lecturing. It appears you have learned nothing from your previous mistakes.
