I take stimulent medications. Because of my matoblism I can not take the long acting stimulents; therefore I have to take a "regular" dose about every four and a half hours.

I am like most other folks here and have a life beyond taking pills for my ADD. This often leads to lapese in medication coverage. However often my behavior is a reminder that it is time for me to take my ADD medications. :faint:

An example is:

I know it is time to take my ADD medications when:
Impulsive people accuse me of being impulsive.

We stopped at one of those car dealerships because they were handing out free hot dogs and I was hungry. They had a portable hot dog stand and one of those inflatable things full of foam balls for the kids to jump around in. While Gary and I were eating our hot dog I noticed a large assortment of plugs and started pulling them out to see what would happen. :eek:

Gary had the ordacity to ask if my ADD medications had worn off!!!!!!! Gee wonder what gave him that idea????? Could it be the deflating ball thingie I just unplugged???? :rolleyes:

Surly I am not the only ADDer who has these monents of medication lapses followed by a return of ADD behavior????? Any one else ever had one of those moments in ADD history???? :confused: Please share!!!!!!
