Hi everyone.

I'm a 33 year old recently diagnosed ADDer. I am on my 3rd week of taking ritalin (10mg 2X day).
I am feeling like a deer in headlights. I feel as if the rest of the world is in fastforward I am in slow motion.... my mouth is so dry. But, that's material for another post altogether right ;-). Besides, I am willing to give this a chance.

My question is on the practical side:

At the end of the afternon today, I realized that I forgot to take my dose at lunch: When you forget a dose do you:

A- Take it as soon as you realize you forget it.

or

B- You skip it ....

I decided to take it, but I wonder if I did good.

Thanks
PS: I am thankful for this forum, I too now feels less alone.
