I need them. My mom and dad, have hooked me up with the best drs around!! They took me to a psycatrist, who surprised me when she said that it looked like I was self medicating all these yrs with cocaine. And actually just never got treated correctly for ADHD. WOW! See everybody there was a point to all this lol ! a little humor wont kill any body. she put me on adderall 20 mg 1x a day. Ive been on it only 1 week. I had to be cocaine free for 30 days. yes its been 45 days no cocaine :) I have been off heroin for a while because I am in a methadone program. Im ready to Live not die.

I am a 30 yr old white female from upstate NY. I was diagnosed at the age of 6 with ADHD. The doctors put me on Ritalin and we went from there. I was too young to remember how the medication worked for me but according to my mother I went " Insane and Out of Control" I would not sleep or eat. I didn't listen. Back then, Ritalin was a new medication and according to my mom, had very bad "stuff" attached to it. I was my mothers first child. Her and my father, just built thier first house together, the happy newlyweds, the all-American family. All the bad hype that was going around about ritalin made her scared. She didnt wanna hurt me. Now she regrets taking me off that medication. I spun out of control!!
