Hi B2,
> took it for a while, great appetite suppressant
ha! too bad we can't get a med to have the same side effect as another person reports..when we might WANT that side effect..I've gained 35 pounds while takeng Strat. Nothing to do with med...it's me eating to soothe myself....one of my deepest problems....:-(
>>but didn't help me with concentration issues
Heard a lot of people (other msg boards out on the net, mostly) say that, too. Helps me by quieting the racket in my head and giving me this inner peace thing I can hardly put into words (not the spiritual type...but physically, emotionally, things don't race or seem jumbled together and out of control...smooth...really smooth thinking)
...but Ritalin helped me in a more immediate *sharp* way, if I had something I HAD to stick to for a couple hours, I'd take 20 mg. and have laser focus...
