100 speedfreaks

If instead of Pharmaceutical speed (ritalin) you take street speed you will have the most productive 72 hours of your life.

Not only will you catch up on weeks of work, you'll probably end up cleaning the whole house and mowing the lawn...all while enjoying doing it like never before.

Should you carry on taking it because it "works" and makes life temporarily better?

How about if you were procrastinating before, was it because you had a speed deficiency?

Theres also the come down that makes you feel like slitting your wrists and can last for days.

Sticky said that after taking Retalin he got loads of shit done.

Comedowns, depression, dependency.... all small details.

The man got shit done on Retalin, must have ADHD then, nothing to do with the fact that Ritalin is watered down speed. :thumbsup

my pdoc wanted to pupt me on retalin at first but then we went with adderal, it seems really you can try whatever you want with them since each one is different everyone reacts differently to each one.

All the stimulants, ritalin,adderal,etc are allllll controled speed when it comes down to it. You can turn adderal into meth its all in the same family hence why its a controled substance. I didn't realize it at first until my doctor said I have to come see her every time I need a refil because she has to physically hand me the script every time I need a refill. Theres no crash with adderal but when I take it work does get done.

Its been proven that even the smallest dosage of adderal etc helps improve anyone even if they dont 'have ADD/ADHD. The flip side is it can become highly addictive.

what he said...

the US is the only country i ever heard of that has so many people with "anxiety" problems or ADD - funny how all the others survive without meds. it somehow seems to be cool to have problems and let everyone know what drugs you are on - completely beyond my comprehension

Ryan who gives a fuck what these people think. If you need Ritalin, take it. I have to laugh at some of these postings. Some of these people have no issue with being drunk off of their ass a majority of the time. Alcohol is addicting too. I also have seen many people on this forum high as a kite at events. So I guess if the drugs are illegal it is ok. Hell when I was at the Phoenix Forum I had people begging me for some Xanax. Lightspeed was right about adult being a fucked up industry. :2 cents:

I could of saved the doctor appointments and just came to gfy for a diagnosis and solution. So many jackasses on here. I take 1 pill per day oh my God!! You idiots act like Im crushing up 10 pills a day and snorting them.

I was told I probably had add back in like 1990 or 91. I never followed up on it, and have been fighting focus issues for years.

I get prescribed a drug by a doctor as a first test to see how it works for me, and you stupid fuckers act like I am hardlining heroin. Ritalin seems to be doing wonders for me, and not hardly any side effects unless I have too much caffeine during the day and then I get a few jitters.

But I know, I know, all the medical degrees on here say my doc is wrong right? LOL

Anyways have a great day folks, working on doing 2008 tax stuff and getting ready to get ours filed.

And btw Warchild ADG will meet me someday, and we'll see how he is. I bet it will be different than he is on the board. Anyone that I have had issues with on gfy, and met them in person I get along with great now. I won't name the people, but Im sure there are some if I listed you would not believe that we get along now after the history we had. Anywho...

Adg coming to the phx show? :thumbsup

thing is you were not actually diagnosed with it then and being prescribed ritalin would help anyone focus...being prescribed medication and having it work doesnt diagnose a disease...i'm not saying you are not add or are doing anything wrong but the way in which you and your doctor came to the conclusion of add isn't the right way of doing it...

I didn't give details on what my doc and I discussed and why he prescribed it did I?

Why would you post such personal info on gfy? Do you enjoy the harrassment? :1orglaugh

You act like I posted I have an std or something lol. What is wrong with taking meds that you need that improve your life quality? :1orglaugh

Nothing at all.

But its an admission that something is/was wrong with you, which is what I am referring to.

So, good for you if that is what you want to hear. Congrats on improving your quality of life. :)

I wouldn't suggest taking any street drug. Ritalin is a controlled substance and has had extensive testing done on it over the years. It's relatively safe regardless of what you'll hear from scientologists (the ones who started the backlash against Ritalin).

If you've taken Ritalin before, you know it's not a gimmick. It really works. It will dramatically increase your focus and attention. You will be able to get more work done. If the side effects are minimal for something that makes you better, why is it evil?

Its evil because the thread started leaning that direction, and band wagoning ensued lol. Oh that and the media lol

I just read Ritalin is a gateway drug and soon I will be messed up on crack, meth, and heroin. Get the needles ready I will be injecting coke into my penis soon.. :Oh crap:1orglaugh

Sorry, I haven't decided about going to the Phoenix show yet.

I go to few shows since I am neither a sponsor or affiliate, and I know how to conduct business with people without attending lots of shows, but even if I did, I doubt that I would have anything to say to you at Phoenix or any other show. You already know what I think about you.

Seriously, you have been called out time and again as being a liar, a thief, and a generally shady character...basically, not the kind of person I do business with.

Just one example...you e-mailed me in late December stating that you and your ex-wife were reconciling, and in this thread you were talking about you and Dixie/Dana getting back together - after Dixie started a thread which basically inferred that you were not making any money, except perhaps off of her, and that you threatened to tell her father who was returning from duty in Iraq about her adult work, as a form of blackmail/manipulation/retaliation.

She also alluded to the possibility that you had heart/health problems due to a pill overdose, if I understand her post correctly - which was in part why I initially questioned your sudden decision and euphoria about taking Ritalin, since it's basically a form of speed that is potentially very addictive and dangerous (there is documentation about the suicide and heart attack risks, among other dangers).

So what is it? Are you and your wife getting back together, or are you and Dixie getting together again? Pretty hard to believe even an experienced slimy con man like you could make that into a 3-way (more like a three ring circus). :winkwink:

So, as I asked before, which "meal ticket" woman is it for you?!?

Or are you still working on whichever meal ticket girl will buy into your act first and become your meal ticket again?

Oh yeah, your wife taking the kids and leaving you, and Dixie dissing you, those were all just "misunderstandings", and anyone that only heard your side of the story from you knows what really happened. :upsidedow :1orglaugh

Why is it that you have a web site attacking your wife for "abducting" her children, and designed to garner sympathy for yourself, yet you make no mention about your porn biz, or about Dixie, which were both likely factors in her decision to take the kids and run away from you, and also just might have an influence on people that you expect to buy into your BS abduction story?

Nah, that might make people possibly think that your ex-wife "rescued" your children from the terrible human being which presumably she thought that you are.

Anyway, I go to shows to do business with reputable people, and you are not one as far as I am concerned, so I do not anticipate us hanging out by the pool having a drink as I explain to you again, what I think about you. If you don't know by now, I doubt you ever will.

ADG

Glad to see you doing something about your life Sticky. If it's working then stay with it.

Isn't there a No Personal attacks rule?

What personal attack(s) are you referring to?

You raised/addressed the issue regarding your wife dumping you, taking the kids, losing your house, and the attack site about your wife, before I did.

How else would I know about these things?

Dixie/Dana made the thread about you, which I merely cited. If you can respond, so can anyone.

Little baby gonna go cry to the mods again? :1orglaugh

I haven't done any personal attacks, namecalling, and veiled threats, on any level close to what you have done (and not just to me, but towards many people).

I'm sure that it frustrates you that I have not taken the bait that you constantly throw out to get a few of your many other critics banned.

I have simply responded to issues and subjects that you and others have brought up first.

This is a forum - deal with it.

As far as I am concerned, this post of yours is just another way to avoid responding to the questions which I previously asked in response to your previous writing.

And just to make sure we keep this on topic, you are the one that felt that it was necessary to announce to all on GFY that you are taking mind altering and potentially addictive and dangerous drugs to simply try and function normally (not that you have exhibited such in this thread).

Why would a sane business person even bring such a thing up?

You really are your own worst enemy... :2 cents:

ADG

To be fair, it is also often said that Americans are more stressed out than many others. So I'm sure that leads to some anxiety. Though I do believe people should find the root of their anxiety and try to fix that as opposed to treating the symptoms.

On another note... no two people are the same. How Ritalin impacts one person can be dramatically different than how it impacts another, even if both are classified as being "ADD". While as a nation I feel that we do depend on prescription medications way too much and short-term "Band-Aids", I also feel that it is pretty ignorant for any of us to even guess how another person is feeling and what their medical condition truly is.

In the end, we are all free to have our own opinion but if a pill makes somebody a better functioning member of society... whatever. There are worse things that could happen.

Keep in mind, that the pill we are speaking about is a potentially highly addictive and dangerous drug, which has reportedly contributed to suicide, heart attack, and can have a negative impact with regards to erectile dysfunction.

Honestly, I'm not sure that the previous quote sounds like a functioning member of society.

unless your doctor is a psychologist or psychiatrist he has no business making psychiatric diagnosis' or prescribing the meds period...and since you keep saying "doctor" i must assume he is a general practitioner and not one of the above...i understand you dont care what anyone says but perhaps someone else will read my comments and go the right way when they try to seek help...

This chart from the NIH (National Institute of Health) reinforces your cautionary warning:

I'll defend Sticky on this, not everyone is perfect and it takes a big person to admit something was or is wrong with them. Is it better to keep it hidden inside of you, acting as if it doesn't exist?

Saying that they both increase dopamine isn't a bad thing. Dopamine is a good thing. It helps all of us make smart decisions and get through the day. The problem with cocaine is that it hits the brain much faster and all at once. It also fucks with the serotonin levels much more which makes it more addicting. Ritalin doesn't have these problems when taken properly under the supervision of a doctor.

Remember that cocaine is a dirty word because of drug abuse. But cocaine used properly and for specific things is still beneficial. It is/was used as an anesthetic. Many of your current anesthetics are based off the principles of cocaine. It was used to treat depression and other minor medical issues for decades.

Ritalin is nothing more than a safer, more refined version of cocaine. Just as local anesthetics are more refined and safer methods of cocaine as well. Just because two drugs have a similar effect on the body in certain areas doesn't mean that they are as equally dangerous to us. I doubt many of us would pass on getting a shot of novacaine at the dentist because it constricts blood vessels the same way cocaine does.

toke the green medicine

People that say that ADD, depression and anxiety are not real must also think things like cancer arent...

Ignorance is bliss :disgust

I wasn't arguing that ADD, depression, or anxiety are not real. Sadly, they are.

Many of the issues and concerns which were raised, are equally real - that our society is over-medicated and over-prescribed prescription drugs which are (too) easy to obtain, that Ritalin and Xanax are potentially addictive and dangerous drugs (incidents of suicide and heart attacks attributable to them are well-documented), and that there are healthier alternatives.

Additionally, the fact is that many people who do not require these drugs, from casual drug users to drug addicts, obtain Ritalin and Xanax both legally and illegally (among a host of other prescription drugs), and abuse them, which may hurt not only themselves, but can lead to various collateral damage to those around them as well.

Not to thread hijack or anything,
but I got my thyroid meds upped to 125mccg... and cut carbs out of my diet... and mania is gone. My Gyno told me if it didn't work.. to go see a psychiatrist for possible ADHD since I'm so hyper and have trouble concentrating...

But honestly, changing my diet and tweaking my hormones a little bit.. did the job :)
Completely sane and fully functioning again :) I knew it was probably diet related since I spent half of 08 with no fruits, sugars, fake sugars, or white carbs... then got back on them at the end of the year... I threw my hormones off and fucked up my bodies processing.... and paid the price.

Maybe all the fruit you're eating is fucking with you sticky? I remember in the other thread you mentioned a lot of empty carbs and fruit carbs... The glucose turns to sugar... the flooding of sugar causes your body to over produce male hormones... the over production of the male hormone could be making you antsy.

Try a week with half the carbs you're eating now. Betcha see a difference.

well hey I wasn't trying to bash anyone, especially someone trying to improve their quality of life.

Its not something I would personally admit here on gfy though, but no biggie. I love threads like this honestly. :1orglaugh

and as for hidden inside... he still could not post it here, and that would not mean he is hiding it.

gfy /= life :winkwink:

and that is all, carry on everyone! :upsidedow

Those that bash Ritalin, just know that there are MANY of the bigger people in adult, from hosting company owners, to program owners, to design companies, etc that also use Ritalin or one of the other solutions to the same problem I have, which is focus problems.

Those like ADG that think they can say people that take Ritalin are mental cases can suck a cock. Im totally sane, just have issues when working on projects and can't stay working on one thing too long, so I take on 40 projects and spend a little bit of time on each one, easily getting distracted if I spend too much time on something.

ADG is ONLY in this thread trying to bring me down (as usual). Now who has mental issues? Do I follow you around the board telling people about your personal and family issues going on? Fuckin nutjob. btw I have NEVER brought the issue that you brought up about my children to this board, and it is NOT a public matter. It is very personal, and something I have been fighting for over a year now. It shows how pathetic you are trying to bring it up to use it as something I did wrong, when its the complete opposite of that. Karma is a bitch you'll find that out.

is that a fact?

I love my adderal, sure I can function without it but I function much better with it.

If it works for you it works for you, I don't see why other people care to bash each other on these issues. Its a personal decision to take these rx's. A doctor has to give you the rx, you are evaluated and someone else other than yourself thinks you need it. You can take it or not, but someone smarter than me told me I would function better with it.

I laughed when my pdoc told me in essance with ritalin etc we are drugging kids to make them better, but its a "controlled substance" so it helps not destroys people.

Its only abuse if you make it abusive.

I was on Ritalin as a teen.. helped me focus for sure but killed my appetite

Fair enough, was just under the impression you were dismissing this sort of problems that DO affect and limit the lives of many people nowadays...

Someway, somehow I think the "Rat Race" gives a help in making things worse...:2 cents:
