Caffeine

Coffee helps relax me when I have some grueling paper work to take care of.

I hear Adderall is the shiz if you can find it. Ginko did nothing for me.

[pk420]

I took Adderall in college before Exams...GREAT STUFF, just dont start playing a video game otherwise you will beat the game and not do your work.

Ritalin is usualyl easlier to find...but its not as good as Adderall.

thats the word i was looking for but doesnt that have bad sides or something

Ask your doctor about Modafinil/Provigil great drug for focus and awareness....

[pk420]

Ritalin is what they give people who have ADHD. I live in Canada, and we do not have Adderall here. I have taken Ritalin before, it helped me relax if anything, didnt see any sides.

But when I would have an exam coming, I took some Adderall and busted through the text book.

Doctors prescribe it to shift worker's fairly often here in Texas, it is most often prescribed when workers are switching from a regular daytime shift to graveyard shift's....

This always helps me

I agree 10,000%

A lot of people don't know about Modafinil cause I think its new. But this is exactly what I would have mentioned, plus its way safer then some junk like adderal.

If you're looking for adderal just drive to the ghetto and get some meth. Its the same exact chemical reaction happening in your brain, and you can reach a similar level of paranoid psychosis afterwards..

it is, i use focalin for my ADD and it's great stuff, adderall, ritalin, focalin, etc.. are all amphetamine salts so be careful and yes a doc has to prescribe them as they are schedule 2 drugs i believe

I tried that with my doctor and he said I definatly have ADHD.

My teachers as a kid would send me to get tested but I never took anything for it because I was too proud, even as a kid.

I've never taken even a pain killer.

When I went to my doctor to get on something finally, because I was spending a ton of money on college and did not want to under perform, he decided he would not prescribe it anymore.

He gave me lexapro instead. He went on to say that for the last 20 years, kids who have been depressed, have been miss diagnosed with ADD instead, and the symptoms are almost the exact same.

But I think the Lexapro rep probably just bought him a vacation, or put some Pistons tickets in his pocket.

The second one you're a lot more active or "h", hyper =] then in both theres also a problematically short attention span

a fellow michigan person i see. got a question, my gf takes adderal for her ADHD and she hates taking it but she pretty much has to cuase if she dont then she cant focus on ANYTHING. i know her body is pretty addicted to it by now shes been on for a long ass time, 8 years or more i think. would lexapro be a good substitute that would still help her?

[ranging1]

im at university atm

week or 2 before my exams i take ritalin, its a prescription ADHD drug, makes people with Attention Defeceit Hyper Dissorder real placid and calm, also helps them focus

everytime i got and exam coming up pop 2, and away i go with the study lol

[DOM6]

UPDATE
My MD is sending me to a Psychiatrist to get a evaluation for add, is this normal? anything i should say in there?

Should i ask them if i can get on Modafinil/Provigil?
