[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 535074, member: 1550"] I have a hub, but he's still sleeping. Even when he's awake, we dont' spend every minute talking...lol. I was divorced once so I know how you feel though, and I'm sorry. I didn't enjoy being alone either. Stimulants were bad for my family. They tried me on 5 mg. of Ritalin and I got very high, then crashed and was depressed for months all because of the up/down factor of the one stupid pill (I get depressed easily and it was very bad for me). I felt very energized and it acted like speed in my body. My son also tried many low, medium, and high doses of stimulants. They all made him mean and aggressive (he is not aggressive or mean) and we discontinued. My daughter has ADD and was tried on Vyvanse. At a low dose, she felt nothing. At a higher dose she was so manic and hyper that her friends asked her what was wrong with her (this isn't like her). She told me she could not control her talking and could not sit still an d that she wasn't going to take it anymore because it made her feel strange. My oldest daughter abused stimulants. She and her friends crushed them in a pillcrusher and snorted them, alone or with other drugs. Obviously, I am no t a stimulant fan. My advice would be that in my opinion if it makes him nervous, it's not a good medication for him. Anxiety is not your friend while in school and these medications are to help with school focus. The hyper-talking is probably also a side effect. Did you notice if he can sit still? [/QUOTE]
