"I'm the one who knocks." Let's talk Amphetamines!

Well, finally had a visit with my PCP, and we're going old-school with the ADHD amphetamines, specifically RITALIN! Whoo hoo!
I figure since it's not extended release, I can modulate my intake as I need it.
They need to check in with me every three months, plus, it being a DEA schedule 1 drug, interestingly a urine test is required annually to ensure that I'm actually taking the drug as opposed to selling it (there goes my alternative money-making scheme now that I'm unable to work).
So i'll probably start taking it tomorrow, and I will report back how I find its effect. Again, since it's ONLY fatigue that I'm experiencing, I'm feeling rather sanguine.
SO, again, I'll be reporting back, and I'll PROBABLY BE WRITING A WHOLE BUNCH, LOTS OF FASCINATING STUFF, JUST YOU WAIT!!
(or, perhaps, I will have calmed down some, paradoxically...)

Be careful with Ritalin, I hope it helps you with your physical symptoms. It is addictive. That is why I take Vyvanse. Although it is also physically addictive in the sense that the body gets used to it and then misses it when it is gone (as well as feeling shittier if I don't take it), it is not a drug that can be abused, in the sense that I it is not one that is snortable, etc. Ritalin is. I only say this as a recovering addict. Keep us posted.
