Day Four on Methylin (Ritalin) is pretty much the same as Day 1….uneventful. The difference is, I am at the full dosage prescribed me – 20mg daily.
Yeah, I wake up faster, but takes a little longer to go to sleep (even though I take the last dose about 9 hours before bedtime). I feel tired, but my thoughts are still going strong. Saw a slogan yesterday that captures this: “My mind is like a banana tree full of monkeys chattering for attention.”
I have a bit more energy. Enough to get me up and at ‘em. I haven’t had many negative self-talks. Not much depression going on. But certainly there’s not much motivation either. Did the dishes today, but I really thought I would see a bit more in terms of clarity, concentration and motivation.
Maybe it’s time for a check-in with my doctor . . .
