Am home, after Moste Stressfull Journeye (don't even ask).

Just want to mention that I think it's cool I didn't get bronchitis at all this year--probably because I haven't been running hard and NYC has pansy winters. Cool

Yeah, I've heard the same. I have a super-low dose (10mg), and I don't plan to take it regularly.

Opinion from someone who is a) heavily biased against casual use of mood-altering medication; b) thinks ADHD is overdiagnosed; c) leans, nonetheless, toward being okay with carefully managed drugs-for-enhancement purposes:

Ritalin over Adderall. I mean, if you're taking it to specifically study, rather than to deal with a pervasive concentration issue. It has a shorter half-life.

Thanks, Anna--that's what I've been hearing on the internet, too. I don't intend to take it every day; it's not to control my mood/attention on the large scale, but rather to stop me from being an inefficient studier/worker.

I agree about ADHD being overdiagnosed, and certainly over-medicated. I struggled with the decision for a few years before even bringing it up to my physician--it's just that I know what my efficiency's like, and facing this volume of work I need to focus more.

*hugs* I totally trust you with it; and to have thought about it, and all of that. I hope it does what you want it to do!
