| hi all I only decided to get the diagnosis 3 years after my niece was diagnosed. I began to experience major anxiety every time I went to work after an incident which was unrelated to work.

| How I get my household chores done is that I have a list. Toilet, shower, vacuum, rubbish, mirror, benches, dust bust, sink, basin. These are the chores I do once a week and I check them off as I go. When the freezer has lots of ice I add it to the list along with mopping the floor when I notice it ... |

| Hi Soccer My psychiatrist has prescribed it for me. I feel he has his perspective on the drugs. He is aware of the risks but I feel he downplays them. If I were a parent I wouldn't allow a child of mine go on Ritalin until all non drug related therapies had been used. That is why I am looking for ad... |

I have taken several different medications, before doc suggested ritalin. Dex was one of them and the itching nearly saw me scratch through my hand. I just kept ... |

| I think it would be nice sometimes to be like others. But then I think why would I. Going and getting wasted every weekend with the potential of being in a drunken brawl or drink drive and kill someone does not appeal to me. Be happy with who you are and enjoy the things you like to do. |
