Hi After a long time suspecting that I suffer from ADHD, I finally got with my doctor, discussed it, and it was "confirmed" that I do, indeed, have it.
I was uncomfortable taking Ritalin (or any stimulant) daily so we decided I would get a script for it, but take it or use it as needed, for instance if I have a paper due that I just cant get myself to write, or if I am having company and HAVE to clean the house, hehe.
Anyway I took one htis morning to see what happens since I have to check back in with Dr in a month. I feel alright, not particularly different (BTW 10 mg) maybe more alert. I am being more deliberate in my typing, if that makes any sense. One thing though, my hands feel weird or something, like I want to squeeze soething real hard, or I feel like if I scratch my hands or somthing I wont stop. Is it the "speed" effect, like I have to keep my self from banging the heck out of the keyboard, thats what I mean by being deliberate. Is this common? Could it pass? It is not entirely unpleasant, just sort of weird or uncommon.
ok thanks

I started Concerta but I have been off it for a now. Still, even when I was on medication I always had to have an eraser or a peice of clay in my hand to squeeze and fool around with. I realize now that this was ahppit of mine for a while only it used to be that I'd pick at my nails constantly (I know it's gross. I try not to). My hands always have to be busy even when I'm tired.

Also when I"m laying in bed trying to sleep I can't keep my feet from moving. It's very strange but it's almost like I need to do it to help me relax.
