> I'm just so cloudy now and the meds don't work anymore and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it across the finish line of nursing school.I used to take klonopin and Zyprexa an hour or so before bed (when my Ritalin wore off) and that seemed to help. I'm not suggesting you take Zyprexa if you don't need it. Maybe switching to another long acting stim and adding a benzo to use for the "crash" would help.
