Why I am experiencing something opposite? I am taking methylin, then my automatic sex desires stopped. I love this part! I felt that I was an animal before but the meds helps me change back to a human.

But so true crazy girl, there is always that 10 percent chance. or truly 50 percent chance. I know exactally what your saying. I need to stop. think. and have more empathy towards the other party in the argument. truly. I do know this.. I know, honestly I have said things, I WOULDNT FORGIVE, if I were the other side. I appreciate your bluntness. it is so true. I am working on it every single day..

OMG this is so me!!! I don't have accidents haha, but I am forever squirming around because I simply can't pull myself away from whatever I am doing. Plus it's SUCH A HASSLE. I swear, guys don't appreciate how good they have it! WAAAAY more convenient plumbing plus larger capacity. I even have a song "I need to pee, I need to pee, I need to pee so BAAAAAAAAaaaaaaDLYYYYYY!" Yeah. By some miracle only a few close...

I have just been through the most grueling six months ever -- new baby, along with 5 year old, back to work after 6 weeks maternity leave -- as a teacher of children with behavior disorders with a new principal, kidney stones, no sleep, graduate class to get my teaching license (I'm lateral entry), etc etc, and I have been looking forward to Christmas break so I can "relax." Crap, why do I always forget that I can't RELAX??...

Yes, I think empathy towards the party is needed especially in an argument, I've said things in the past I'm not proud of everyone has. The bottom line is nobody really wants the saying "You're gonna wake up one morning and he/she aint gonna there" to literally apply to their lives.

Thank you everyone for your posts. Yesterday I took my first Adderall but I'm always nervous about taking new medication and it's effects. I did pretty well most of the day, even after a cup of coffee. I didn't feel like I had taken 'speed' but I did have a very dry mouth.

As hard as it is to ignore all those who think you should 'tough it out', they have no idea what it is like. It is your body, and only you know what you need.
