gtrplayr-Now that I think of it, I pretty much only get offended when I am off the meds--like at 930 at night after a long day and the meds have worn off. Also I am trying the meds on a 3 days on, and 3 day off schedule-it's a money saver and I am trying to avoid any tolerance developing. And I think it is on the three days off that I just can't take it.
Maybe I need the weekdays on and weekends off schedule. I'd appreciate any input.
On a lighter but stranger note, I told my husband about this thread and I wanted him to read it and the articles. He said, "I didn't know you had ADD." What? I had told him about it two months ago when I got the diagnosis and the Focalin. He was with me both times when we drove thru the drive thru pharmacy and he had to ask for both of the Focalin prescriptions by name. He agreed with me that I am doing much better when I went to my most recent 2 pdoc appts and that's what I told the psych nurse. I can only attribute his statement to him working 3rd shift on weekends. He is exhausted on Sunday nights but won't go to bed. But I am still somewhat flabbergasted !?!(no meds yesterday or today YET-I plan to get off and take them now.)

Logan, prayers and good thoughts coming your way.

Cheers everybody! Drop by to see me back at SQUARE ONE.
