Thank you all for your advice!
I saw the Dr. today and he switched the ritalin to dextroamphetamine. I'm still tapering up the dose so I have'nt noticed any effect yet.
Utopizen, I tried provigil for a couple of weeks long ago. It was the "best" and the "worst" drug for me. It kept me awake all day and helped me sleep at night. It improved memory, cognitive funtion. Plus a big improvement in assertiveness! but then, flu-like symptoms started to creep in and made it intolerable to keep taking, so I stopped. I had the WORST withdrawl symptoms that I had ever had from any med. in my entire life! Totaly depressed and non-functional brain. which didn't get better until I started taking ritalin a month later. Lawrence S.
