>Hi Ya!
I also need stims, Ritalin everyday, or else are non functional, brain asleep even if my body is awake, which has cost me jobs. It didn't start off this way, but this is how things are now, I fell asleep at work at tea break last week cos i hadn't had my meds since morning, and was late back by 30 mins, luckly it went unnoticed. I am scared i am evolving into a narcoleptic! I get so blasey and tired when off my med.
Heaven help me
