I abuse my Ritalin.

I abuse my Ritalin, but I'm not addicted to it. I get my Ritalin filled & I take it to stay up late or all night. When I run out it's no big deal. I don't go thru withdrawals or crave it when I don't have it. I'm Ritalin free until my next refill. I have like one week a month that I abuse & that's it. I'm not hurtin anyone, I'm not goin nutz waitin for my next refill. Does this make sense to anyone?

Why do you feel you need to stay awake all night? That's not normal because sleep is when our body's repair themselves so staying up most of the night or all night is just asking for trouble, imho!

If you are not taking your medication as prescribed then you are not being honest with your doctor.

If it were me and I needed to stay awake a little longer, I would just drink coffee!

God Bless

    So mad at Xfinity!  They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today!  Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...

    check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....
