Vicadin vs. Ritalin
My doctor prescribed me pain medication post-surgery but right now I feel like Ritalin would help me more than Vicadin. I'm not sure which is worse....the pain or the A.D.D. I am developing from being stuck in my apartment.
Its been 3 days since I have ventured out of my apartment and I am seriously feeling restless... I need to find a new hobby which doesn't involve leaving my apartment and can be conducted with one foot in the air hooked up to a cold-therapy machine...any suggestions???

I know how you feel, I've been stuck in our apartment with a cold for the last 4 days... At least you can invite people to come over without having to feel bad that they might become sick as well! :-)

My name is Nikki Hughes and i would like to show you my personal experience with Ritalin.
I am 51 years old. Have been on Ritalin for 9 years now. I began taking it for depression after my marriage ended, and also in a misguided attempt to lose weight! I lost about 15 pounds at the beginning, had tons of energy, felt great...but the weight loss stopped within a few months.. I currently feel focused and motivated after I take it and am able to get a lot done. As well as the generic ritalin, I take 6 - 12 Tylenol 1 tablets a day. I know how bad this is, but can't seem to stop for more than a few days. The last nine years seem to be a blur...it's like I have lost those years....I hardly remember anything about them. I find this sad and frightening. I take what my doctor prescribed: three 10mg. tablets a day. I have tried many times to completely get off this drug but I now realize that I am truly addicted to it. If I stop taking it for more than one day I become extremely depressed and have very negative, hopeless thoughts and ideas.
I have experienced some of these side effects-
very irritable when it wears off; sometimes difficult to fall asleep, memory loss, hear music in my head that won't stop.
I hope this information will be useful to others,
Nikki Hughes
