I'm currently not on any controlled substances. My late father prescribed Ritalin for me when I was in college, and I'm debating with myself on whether or not to start taking it again. During my college years I tried just about every drug there was and never got hooked on anything. I didn't abuse my Ritalin, either. I did have a battle with Vicodin in later years and, eventually, went to Methadone maintenance to help with those cravings. Since you don't get high on Methadone after you've adjusted to it--and because other opiates are blocked and have no effect--I started using crystal meth and coke. I ended up kicking everything in rehab (even cigarettes), and have been clean for about a month. I'm really trying to be honest with myself and, although Ritalin was never a problem for me, I want to be careful about medications. Any advice?
Thanks
