Thank you for being so kind, I really appreciate it.
Alicia, the pics are great. You sound good too. Any substance that controls are lives can be overcome. Admitting you have a problem is the first huge hurdle to overcome.
You are at a good place (forum). Many here can help you. There are not too many here that used ritalin, but that shouldn't matter. The ways to get off them are similar. I saw your post on the substance abuse side, too. That forum is more active than the social side. When I was here more, I used both sides but mainly the abuse side. Good luck to you.
I asked my doctor about adderol, but he said he wasn't comfortable switching my meds and put me on lexapro to handle the side effects.. I wasn't completely honest with the amount I was taking though. And I think my pictures are coming up now? I can see at least one that I posted.
talk to your doctor. I assume you have a script for em?
if so tell him your concerns, and see wut he suggest. there may be alternatives meds he can offer. also, approach it like any addiction, head on. a strait a student at your level has to be smart, so use that on your side. remember that you are the one that makes the decision to not take that pill anymore, an that YOU are in control of your life!
also, your pics dint pop :)
Thank you for the response... I know I have a problem, and am trying to figure out a way to get help without interfering with my schedule. I've never done any other drug, and have always been a straight a student.. I have no idea how to approach this problem with anyone.
I read this one on the other forum, and saw no one has responded. most are asleep rite now, and will help more 2moro.
heres all i know bout rit
my lil cuz started takin it round 13 or so, and it did all rite for a minute. then he started to crush em an snort em. he moved from that to opiates. we buried him last summer of a pill overdose. so they are addicting, and if you are questioning your use of em u prolly have a problem. best of luk to ya, and remember that no grade or study is worth losing yourself for....
