I want to reach into their brain and ask them how well they are thinking now?<BR/><BR/>Distracted professionals can force themselves to focus when they need to. Non medicated, I have no control over when I can pull it together and when I can't (and usually can't). I remember trying so hard to pay attention once that I ended up paying attention to paying attention and completely lost what was going on.<BR/><BR/>I also love the anti-Ritalin ADD crowd. I'm fine with someone choosing to not take meds (my brother) but don't lecture me for choosing to. I've tried it both ways, and I very actively manage my meds. Things always work out better when I'm on them than when I'm not.<BR/><BR/>I work full time, married with three kids and am going full time getting my MBA. I would have blown up months ago if it wasn't for my meds.<BR/><BR/>When I'm on my meds I can run mental circles around any one at work or school. When I'm not on my meds I'm just running in circles.<BR/><BR/>Like you said, meds don't make me do better, they just make it so I can do better.Tac Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15378868198109317740noreply@blogger.com
