I'm the same way with food and drugs. Even with over the counter stuff I have to take twice as much as the label says in order to get an effect. It's very annoying, because when I need prescription pain-killers, I need so much more than average. I had a killer ear infection in January, and the doctor prescribed Vicodin and told me I would only need 1/2 to 1 pill for pain. I got no relief at all unless I took two pills at a time. Luckily, the doctor believed me about having high tolerance and didn't have a problem prescribing more pills. But I always hate having to explain, because I know a lot of doctors might consider that "drug seeking behavior"!
I wish someone would do some kind of study on people with our type of brain chemistry, it would be nice if they could find out some specific AD's for our "kind". CarolAnn
