In reply to Is it okay to take Ritalian or Adderal for school?, posted by HappyChaiTea on February 15, 2009, at 16:13:35
hi.
linkage is right about the info from your psych class, most people who take adderall or ritalin non_rx are taking it for the energy. the thing is even that wears off after a couple months and you have to up the Rx or stop it for a while then start again.i'm glad you talked to your doc about it, i was going to suggest that until i read your reply. i think most docs (if you have a good relationship with them) are pretty honest and not accusatory.
but i also want to mention that asking for a SPECIFIC add/adhd med might send red flags.many times in adults docs will start you with a non-stimulant such as strattera.

i hope going off cymbalta works for your memory.i know that when i was on seroquel i had severe cognitive blunting after about a month. once i was off it (a few weeks) things returned.
Best wishes.
b2c.
