I think maybe you might if your life was a wreck from uncontrolled ADD/ADHD
and you were desperate to be able to function,
to remember anything short term,
to organize anything,
to complete anything,
to start anything,
to not live in overwhelming clutter,
to not lose your keys day after day, after day, after day....,
to not make your teenaged child act as your parent
to read for more than 5 mins without being bored,
to not glance at each and every "squirrel,"
to tolerate all the million noises no one else hears,
to not leave a store without your groceries after being overwhelmed by choices, colors, stuff,
and so very much more.You might. That was me prior to 2002. Ritalin produced a near-miracle where I was in tears when my mind calmed and my thoughts quit swirling and I could ATTEND or not, to WHAT I CHOSE....and I had tears in my eyes, saying, "You mean THIS is what other people's minds are like??!!""
Yeah, you might take "stuff like that." I understand it must be hard to imagine if you have never experienced the extreme efficacy of a stimulant, doing what it is prescribed to do.
My thought is... never say never.
MDD (presently in complete remission); ADD-Inattentive type; mild anxiety (not fomally dx'd)
Meds: Strattera 80 mg q day
