Actually, the chart I drew up was in Word & I used a proper table, but had to change it about to fit this forum.
If I could be mentally stimulated all the time by other's input & ideas, stims wouldn't be necessary for that part. But I can't have people following me about helping (or I would just be bursting with ideas but never get any work done - I've always wanted a job where I could be in some sort of "think tank". My ideas aren't manic either, but very well-grounded & practical. Others say I'm very practical yet creative. My resumé includes "innovative ideas & practical solutions".)
But then I really do need something to keep awake. And memory improvement & focus are sure nice to have.
Anyway, I ordered a bunch of adrafinil that just came in today. It's for a few others who have similar problems to me that want to try it too. I noticed the price on the package - the equivalent Canadian to $9.71 per package (40 tabs). And with shipping & handling, I pay $37.00 per package! One friend that just picked it up said he's got a cousin in France, so we're going to go through her instead. What a savings that will make. Now I won't go broke just to stay awake!
I'm really glad to hear it works as well for you as it does for me. I do wonder though why some people notice an immediate reaction to it & why it then poops out. I wonder if a longer trial at a lower dose would help them?
> Amazing, your experiences with the drugs are almost identical to mine. Good job on that table. I hope you don't mind, but I copied it so that I can give it to my pdoc-(I’ll say that I did it:):):)--just kidding—of course you’ll get the credit for your hard work.)

> Of the typical pstims, Ritalin is my favorite. The effects are the cleanest for me, but the elevation and the drops really suck. Therefore, let me further clarify and say that Concerta is my favorite of the typical pstims. Adderal helps, but can also cause agitation and frustration.

I wasn't high or anything, but I could really think EXTREMILY well. However, I tend to get on people's nerves when I'm on a typical pstim--just like you. It's amazing how much we have in common.
