I was on Prozac for depression and I guess that helped, but the thing I will NEVER forget was going on Ritalin for ADHD. I'm chronically disorganized - a procrastinator etc. When I was married the first time, my husband would complain because I would leave stuff out all the time. I was the type to leave the kitchen cabinets open. There was SOMETHING on the counter and he said, "Are you EVER going to put that away?" The fact is I didn't even SEE it anymore. I can remember yakking on the phone when I was first on meds. I was talking and I saw the salt and pepper shakers were left out and I put them in the cabinet. I NEVER did that before. It's not like I was TRYING to clean. I just saw it was out of place and instinctively put it away. Then I thought, "So THIS is how the other half lives!" Such a small thing and I will NEVER forget it and I forget EVERYTHING these days.
