In reply to Re: Uptight on Ritalin... what should I add?, posted by Jackd on September 9, 2002, at 19:08:52
Propananol is a beta blocker, clonidine is an alpha agonist.
I can't take betas, because I take Salagen for dry mouth from all my meds, and it's not advised to mix the two. So that's why I'm thinking of Clonodine.
I think I'm "jittery" but I still don't exactly know what that means. I just feel uptight, physically, in my head, and in my thoughts. Like, I can read anything no matter how boring it is. So it's great for my schoolwork, it's like I've hired a dork to take over my body for a few hours and get some work done.
But the problem is I'm boring to others, and even to myself. I think of dorky things, things I shouldn't worry about in class, questions I should move on with instead of asking... in a word, I'm pedantic.
I had a dream last night, no joke, I went to this "dieitician doctor" and got Desoxyn written for me. Weird stuff. I will always wonder how I feel on it... obviously anxious though, if not more so. For some reason I'm enchanted about how meth can be sold so benignly and obscurely all at the same time... my p-doc does adolescent and adult psych., in a state that's known to be a ritalin state in an affluent suburb. So he must write a lot of stimulants. And he said he never heard of the stuff before. It shocked me.
