> There are often people (on stimulants) on this board who write poorly.pardon my ignorance, but do you mean the above observation as evidence of stim's potential for neurotoxicity, or were you referring to their effect on writing acuity in general? i'm interested because i'm hoping stims might help facilitate my return to work as a writer, but i'm wondering if they're better for mindlessly pounding out essays, or if they can be used for more fine-tuned handiwork.
fwiw, i find the crash from ritalin (i've only tried SR) really hard to stomach; it was even worse after the mood-effects wore off after 3 days. but it was really instrumental in helping me function, and enlargening the scope of activities (concentration-wise) available to me in my depression. my sugar/carb cravings disappeared, i could channel my energy away from insantly-rewarding activities (video games, the internet, etc.) into reading, exercise, etc.
the only other stim available to me is IR dexedrine; i'm wondering if it's worth the switch, or if i'll just experience the same mood issues. i really don't believe abuse will be a problem
