Haha I'm not manic but thank you for the concern....I can see how you thought that lol with all my exclamation points and questions. But, yes I'm okay just a little frustrated. I just started Ritalin 5mgs 3 times a day. This is only my fourth day on and I know I have to be patient. It was just the first few doses I had gotten so tired after taking each dose that I was worried it was gna be a side effect. The tiredness is slowly going away though like yesterday I didn't feel tired at all and today only a little.
