Question for ya'll

Is it normal to have days on ritilan were it seems you are not taking anything at all? I have been on ritialn for nearly 4 months now and today as the point of the question I have been my normal self instead of my mediicated self though I now darn well I took all my doses.

Is this happening to you every day lately, or just a random day now and then?

Do you always get the same prescription at the same place?

Seems mainly to be random days, and yes I always get my prescription at the same pharmacy. It has seemed to do wonders for methat are noticable to more then me. My wife says she doesn't think she could live with me if I went back to my old self.I have an appointment on the 12th and I'm going to ask my doctor about it but am just sounding things out before hand as well..I like to be well armed with knowledge, advice and all info I can get my hands on.

Meds or no meds, everybody has a bad days sometimes. I've noticed that on meds, my bad days seem worse than before. Probably in sharper contrast to the good days. Meds don't make you perfect.

Yeah, I'd say it was the contrast. In four months, you've probably come to expect a higher standard of your own moods and behaviors. I'm on a pretty "crabby" 24 hours myself. I just put up the new avatar & sig. last night. Those pretty much cover it. You'll see my normal ones in the next day or so. I hope.

Yeah today I have been a bit closer to what I feel is normal lately.
