I would also be on Ritalin if I could get it. I tried it a couple of times (my son took it briefly but stopped because "it made him feel weird"). A single delayed release pill easily doubles my productivity, improves my memory, and makes the work far more enjoyable.
- Waterluvian 8y agoSomething's bizarrely wrong to me that you seem excited about a medication you borrowed from your kid that he felt side effects so significant that he discontinued use. When I was a kid I used it for years until I stopped because it made me feel weird. For me "Weird" meant antisocial, never hungry, and feeling crestfallen for hours when it wore off. I took it again in university until I stopped because by then the "crestfallen" feeling was replaced consistently by suicidal thoughts. To each their own, and everyone can experience different effects, but you seem so very ignorant to what taking Ritalin is actually like. It's not a magic productivity pill. You pay for every bit of it.
- m0zg 8y agoI don't see anything "bizarrely wrong" with observing a quantifiable doubling of productivity and improvement in enjoyment of life, all from taking a very small dose. When (and where) I was growing up ADHD wasn't really a diagnosis you could get. I strongly suspect I have it, at least the attention deficit part, but apparently the only way to properly diagnose it is before you're a fully grown adult, so I'm kind of SOL since I'm in my 40s. You, on the other hand, seem to be quite judgmental towards people you don't know. That's what's "bizarrely wrong".
