Yes, this morning. Had my dose upped.

Are you already noticing a difference?


Had a talk about Ritalin few weeks ago. That man said he had people taking it on demand, on a regular basis, and, a few taking it on a regular basis, with breaks, for the nights they wanted to drink.

They are going to discuss my need for medication.

Yes, I've noticed a difference. I'm far more focussed for up to 10 hours. It's not without side effects but so far they seem to be minor and worth it.

What happens after those 10 hours?


Would love to have the ability to focus for an extended time. Seems to get worse and worse over the years.  :-\

Things get back to normal after that time, attention-wise, but sleep is affected anyway.

Sleep getting even worse?

Yes. I'm just not tired.

Yes. I'm just not tired.

Is the lack of sleep a problem, or, has your day just gotten longer, because of the Ritalin?

Not sure but I think it is a problem. Focus and thinking things through are not the same. I had problems with the latter yesterday, probably because I am tired but do not feel it.

So, the problem may more be that you don't feel that you are tired, than the actually not being tired?

That's a problem indeed.

Yes, I phrased it wrong, earlier.

Today was so filled with paperwork-type crap that I didn't have the mindset to take them.

I have taken some of mine. Forgot the lunchtime ones but I am not doing anything that requires concentration anyway.
