I do not know if I can post about this correctly or not .I had a injury were I hurt my head sometime back.I get a disabilty check and one of the reasons I get it is because I have heavy brain damage .I have not been able to see my regular doctor in sometime now because he is to far away from me and I do not have a way to go see him now .He is a pediatrician[not sure I spelled that right] .I had told him that I had a friend that gave me her sons ritalin and they helped me .I only took 20 to 30 mg a day .He told me he had children on higher dosages than that.I have a heart condition also and he would not prescribe it to me .My friends son stated getting dexadrine and I really can not remember if they were any better than the ritalin.
This summer I ordered some Ciba brand ritalin from a IOP and they helped me as long as I would not take but one 10 mg tablet 3 times a day .I would take 2 10 mg tablets every now and then .I had a hard time sleeping when I took them .I have been thinking seriously about ordering some more ritalin but was wondering if I would do better if I would get some valium also to take at night so I can sleep.
I have a bad nervous condition but really not sure if ritalin or valium would help me .The ritalin does not stimulate me except for the first few days I take it .It actually seems to calm me down more than valium without making me drowsy ,another reason for me to take it.
Whatever works is that the old saying .I do not get the ritalin or valium for recreational purposes.I have not been doing well for some time now and want to get something to help me whatever that may be.I just do not seem to be able to get interested in anything now or seem to be able to do just simple jobs that I would normally do with little or no problem .
I have been studying about other drugs that are more specific for people that have brain damage .I think the latest term for them are nootropics.I am not sure what I need to be taking .
I hope I did not post about this in the wrong section .
