If you're manic and high strung I would definitely NOT recommend adderall. I would look into a good antidepressant.

Don't bother worrying about the issues between my ex and me and our custody issues. Most of the industry already knows whats going on, and have talked to me personally about it, and not one of them thinks the way you do about it. Maybe because they know the REAL story and not the story you have tried to push as the truth.

Someday we will meet face to face, and Id love to see how you talk to me then. You are the essence of keyboard warrior. Spend some time getting your site looking like its from this decade instead of poking your nose into others biz.

Dude, get off the drugs already...

Just over two weeks ago you e-mailed me stating that you and your wife are reconciling, and now you are talking about you and Dixie getting back together?!?

So which meal ticket woman is it?

Or are you trying to say the three of you are moving in together with the kids? That could be awkward.

In either case, better read up about Ritalin and erectile dysfunction if you plan to continue being porn talent there, stud.

Of course real prescription drug junkies crush it up and either snort or inject it...

Also if that were true that means nearly every doctor/scientists would be in on it too. Talk about one hell of a scam...

You are right about one thing though ritalin is shit and so are most those other drugs, gotta be careful what you take...

I can vouch that acid reflux is horrible. I do not eat anything spicy ever. I eat a great diet but I still have acid reflux. I have been eating a lot of raw foods which is supposed to to help in time. It is a real problem and it hurts like hell.

I had an appointment at my regular doc later that week to make sure.

I've lost 19lbs down from 164 to 145, and I am very slim and trim, and building new muscle. I've stuck to my 5 day a week regiment for the last 2.5 months since that happened. Swim 30 minutes of laps 3 days a week, 200 situps a day, 100 in the morn, 100 at night, 100 pushups 50 in morn 50 at night. 3 sets of 30 curls using 25lb weights per arm. 100 squats a day. And try to do like 50 sets of going up and down the stairs. I usually take 2 days off and veg out. Im more than likely in better shape than I would guess 80% of the people on this forum, but could be wrong lol

Having the occasional pizza isn't going to hurt you much. And it wasn't even pizza I got that night that people are talking about, it was hot wings and a small order of cheese sticks that I didn't even eat more than 2 of lol. My main diet is normally turkey sandwiches using light mayo, salad, fruits, and veggies. Ill put up some new ab pics on monday or tues.

The retalin seems to work for me, I assure you I need it. I don't ever use drugs as a crutch. And I bitch at people that do, but this stuff just seems to keep me focused and able to get through work that I need to complete.

If Retalin helps you than take it. It is easy to tell people that drugs are bad when they do not have the problem. I have panic attacks and I take Xanax for it. People tell me that Xanax is bad as well. I would like to see them have a few panic attacks each day for a month or two and not take something for it. Not everything can be cured with vitamins and a great diet. Some things do require medication.

Clueless response as usual...

I don't know if Stinky is buying his drugs off the street or not. Do you? Where do you think he gets his marijuana from? Longs Drugs, CVS, or Walgreens?

Stinky is the one that felt compelled to publicly announce his supposed need to take a potentially addictive and dangerous prescription drug to function normally.

You say ADHD is not a mental illness. So by that logic, do you think anyone could walk into a pharmacy and buy mind altering Ritalin over the counter to change their brain chemistry? Or do you think it is prescribed for people without a mental/chemical brain imbalance/illness?

As for my supposed personal attack against Dixie/Dana, I was simply quoting her, and Stinky brought up/posted the personal stuff about his family. If he had half a brain, he wouldn't bring up so much about his messed up personal life and psychological problems.

RevTKS69 · 01-19-2009, 01:38 AM

If Sticky had come in here and said that he had just finished chemotherapy and his cancer was in remission; I don't think there would have been nearly as much negative backlash as we're seeing in this thread.

And as far as posting here with his news people say 'well he posted this crap.' When someone gets a breakthrough with symptoms they have dealt with all their lives, they naturally want to share that information with people.

I thought A.D.D. was a bullshit diagnosis too...and when I got diagnosed with it, I was in serious denial about it. You know what, the meds have helped alot. I never kept a job longer than a year before my treatment, and I've made it three years plus since.

And realizing that I had a disorder, instead of just being 'lazy' 'worthless' 'underachiever' or any of the other names I had thrust upon me, helped me deal with my behavior issues more directly.

Anyway, Sticky, I'm glad you're getting results from your treatment (I take Adderall, btw) and don't let the negative crap get you down. Keep on rocking the treatment plan.

You claim to be an adult, try acting like one. You post like you are 12 and this is your MySpace blog. All conditions that deal with the brain are not mental illnesses. I guess you think Epilepsy is a mental illness too because it is a brain disorder. There are mental illnesses, brain disorders and neurobiological brain disorders.

You also assume the worst in people. I have no idea where he gets his medication, but I would not just jump to the conclusion that it must be from the local drug dealer. He said he saw a doctor, and I am sure that the doctor gave him a script for the drugs. A lot of over the counter drugs can change your brain chemistry as well.

You seem to live for drama on here and then create some if there is none. If you think your behavior is normal for an adult, then you need a mental evaluation.

First http://www.addresources.org/article_...ess_hammer.php

Second: I suppose congrats sticky. You never came off as having ADHD the times we met, nor the times we have spoken. Suppose you could have it however you acted nothing like my brother who does have it, nor any others I have met with it. Guess live and learn. If it helps you, then well so be it.
I personally would seek additional opinions, even if the ritalin works. Well it does have that habit of making almost anyone focus and well get shit done. I am always very sketchy about the drugs I do take.

Would never presume it is a fake disorder. I do think it is an over hyped and over diagnosed one though. Sort of like allergies today along with several other issues. So do be careful and watch it all. My brother ended up all fucked up and also addicted to ritalin himself. We ended up finding some other treatments that worked.

You can't talk sense to people that believe their sanity depends on dangerous addictive prescription drugs like Ritalin:

or Xanax:

...'cuz they feel good when they are loaded on drugs:

There are other forms of treatment out there for real sufferers of ADHD or anxiety attacks, but it's much easier to simply take drugs.

Unfortunately, before users know it, they are addicted - and many prescription drugs, such as Ritalin and Xanax, are harder to kick than cocaine/heroin habits.

If you are going to take ritalin you may as well snort it, it will hit you a lot quicker and it will be more intense. Of course you could always inject it for an even better high if thats how you roll. Doing the above with both Xanax+Ritalin together many junkies say is even more affective. Or some valium with the ritalin if you are of those who can get all edgy.

I had a friend who would get massive panic attacks and snort his Xanax during them to get it in his system faster.

Actually, Ritalin is a stimulant and Xanax is a depressant, so they would likely cancel each other out.

Xanax abusers are among the biggest addicts in denial. They use a short term use drug recklessly for extended periods of time, until they can't function without it, and even then, they mostly dysfunction (which is kind of how they ended up at the dead end they found themselves in to begin with):

So is cocaine+heroin but that is fairly popular combo. I know people mixing all sorts of prescribed drugs a stimulant+depressant on paper may just cancel each other out but im sure thats not how it works otherwise they would not bother, especially since mixing stimulants and depressants can be pretty dangerous.

Snorting Xanax will not make it work any faster. There is a Xanax called Niravam that melts in your mouth. That is supposed to work faster but it taste like shit.

Bullshit. I love how you generalize things. It is not simpler to take drugs. Most people with anxiety or panic attacks are afraid to take medication. They eventaully take it because they are tired of being afraid or feeling sick all the time. The best treatment is medication and therapy. Don't try and play a fucking doctor on here because you are not one. Most people that are given Xanax by a doctor do not become addicted to it. I had no problem what so ever lowering Xanax from 4 mg's a day to 1.25 mg's a day. I hate people like you that make such broad statements about people taking certain medications.

I also find it funny that Ryan posts he takes Ritalin and people are bitching about it. Yet people post on here the illegal drugs they take and a bunch of people join in on what illegal drugs they take. So if you get a drugs from a doctor it is so bad, but if you get drugs from a dealer it is cool. That is really fucked up.

Yes it will, the doc may tell you otherwise maybe he doesnt want you becoming a junkie (although arguably you already are). Have you tried snorting it? Im guessing not because those who have pretty much all say it does.

Funny and sad, therapy is not needed for 99% of people with anxiety problems. Most peoples anxiety is over such small problems they dont like the way they look or they think people are staring at them and stupid shit like that, you do not need therapy for that. If you have mental strength you will overcome it by yourself. People having panic attacks know why they are having them, mostly they can pin point the exact reason and they also know what they have to do beat it, you just need to toughen up.

Not totally disagreeing with you.

I'm sure some people (a very small percentage of the population) are sick/chemically imbalanced enough that they cannot cope without such drugs.

However, it is pretty well established that people are over-prescribed Ritalin, that it is a potentially dangerous and addictive drug, and that many people buy it on the street simply because they feel good taking dopamine releasing speed stimulants.

Based on my observations of my brother on (and off) Ritalin, I would recommend that any person give non-drug treatment a try for at least or year or two, before going the addictive drug route, which can lead to erectile dysfunction, heart attack or suicide.

throughout grade school my teachers had seat belts and tied me down to my chair...they would also let me leave in the middle of class to run laps...i tried some of the drugs back then and didn't really like them so i stopped taking them...by the time i hit middle school i had learned some coping skills on my own and used them throughout high school with mild success...i am now over 30 and one of the 10% that never lost it...i personally meet all but one of the criteria to this date...going to drugs should only be used if the add is crippling and severely fucks up your daily life to the point you cant function and you have tried alternate methods...even with alternate methods i should proly take meds but it's a personal choice not to do so...some really have it, the ones that use it as an excuse or brag about having it (most of them in that category dont) bother the shit out of me...as for the side effects, as with all drugs the patient has to weigh the risks to the benefits and make a choice...

BusterBunny · 01-21-2009, 01:20 AM

and as for the over prescribing, i already said i agreed in this thread and others on the same topic...but people do the same with benzo's and almost every drug...doesnt mean they should stop making it and prescribing it for people that actually need it ;)

However, it is pretty well established that people are over-prescribed Ritalin, that it is a potentially dangerous and addictive drug, and that many people buy it on the street simply because they feel good taking dopamine releasing speed stimulants.

Based on my observations of my brother on (and off) Ritalin, I would recommend that any person give non-drug treatment a try for at least or year or two, before going the addictive drug route, which can lead to erectile dysfunction, heart attack or suicide.

I agree with most of what you say. I do think there is another side to it though. If a pill makes you feel better, makes your life better, should the side effects not be weighed out the same way other aspects of our life are? We know that eating chocolate cake is probably not good for our health, but it makes our meals enjoyable. We know getting hammered is probably not great for our liver, but we do it because we enjoy the feeling. I don't think prescription drugs are much different in that respect.

It's easy to say that we should do it "the natural way". But nothing about our lives is natural. We didn't evolve to work 8 hour days in front of a computer. We didn't evolve as a species to have to handle bills, divorces, and rush hour traffic. Many of the things we treat like anxiety and ADHD were beneficial aspects of our species at one time. They no longer are.

I guess what I'm saying is that we shouldn't just throw prescription drugs out the window because they are foreign to us. Everything about our lives is foreign. Ritalin does have some side effects, some can be serious if the dosage is too high. But it also can have some kick ass results. It directly influences the prefrontal cortex and really allows you to focus. There is no vegetable on the planet that can do that. If it helps a person work better, make more money, and feel better about themselves, maybe the side effects aren't so bad.

I'm not saying everyone should go on it. It is overprescribed, especially to kids. It can have an impact on the development of the brain of a young child. But I do think as adults, drugs like this shouldn't be spurned. They may be able to help us achieve much more, and perhaps with the right research, with much less side effects.

Note: I don't take Ritalin

Of course real prescription drug junkies crush it up and either snort or inject it...

If Sticky had come in here and said that he had just finished chemotherapy and his cancer was in remission; I don't think there would have been nearly as much negative backlash as we're seeing in this thread. And as far as posting here with his news people say 'well he posted this crap.' When someone gets a breakthrough with symptoms they have dealt with all their lives, they naturally want to share that information with people. I thought A.D.D. was a bullshit diagnosis too...and when I got diagnosed with it, I was in serious denial about it. You know what, the meds have helped alot. I never kept a job longer than a year before my treatment, and I've made it three years plus since. And realizing that I had a disorder, instead of just being 'lazy' 'worthless' 'underachiever' or any of the other names I had thrust upon me, helped me deal with my behavior issues more directly. Anyway, Sticky, I'm glad you're getting results from your treatment (I take Adderall, btw) and don't let the negative crap get you down. Keep on rocking the treatment plan. __________________ www.sexyschiava.com - Amateur BDSM www.adultblogreview.com - Starting a new review site, positions available

There are mental illnesses, brain disorders and neurobiological brain disorders. First http://www.addresources.org/article_...ess_hammer.php Second: I suppose congrats sticky. You never came off as having ADHD the times we met, nor the times we have spoken. Suppose you could have it however you acted nothing like my brother who does have it, nor any others I have met with it. Guess live and learn. If it helps you, then well so be it. I personally would seek additional opinions, even if the ritalin works. Well it does have that habit of making almost anyone focus and well get shit done. I am always very sketchy about the drugs I do take. Would never presume it is a fake disorder. I do think it is an over hyped and over diagnosed one though. Sort of like allergies today along with several other issues. So do be careful and watch it all. My brother ended up all fucked up and also addicted to ritalin himself. We ended up finding some other treatments that worked. __________________ [email protected] ICQ:135982156 AIM: Aftershockmed1a MSN: [email protected]

Of course you could always inject it for an even better high if thats how you roll. Doing the above with both Xanax+Ritalin together many junkies say is even more affective. Or some valium with the ritalin if you are of those who can get all edgy. __________________ ☻

I think I'd really enjoy making him cry like a girl for some reason. Does that make me a bad person? __________________ .

Nobody takes personal responsibility, it is easier to always blame outside forces. If I can't concentrate it is because I have ADHD, if I am fat it is because McDonalds force fed me, If I am broke it is because others don't recognize my talents....
