Thx for all the tips... I'll give them consideration but likely will wait closer to 30 days cuz being labeled a drug seeker is something I don't want to risk, since the ritalin has been way more effective than nuvigil, as far as motivation and focus. At this point even with the last dose wearing off quickly it's still greatly improved my life. Anyway thx peeps! You've been super helpful!
