I have a performing arts studio and business isn't great right now so I took the weekend job for the benefits. I'd like to know if you find the ritalin to be helpful with concentration. Have you been on it long? Please let me know. Thanks a whole lot. Feedback really helps.  |
Wow! Having done both swing and graveyard shifts I know how hard it can be to sleep during the day sometimes. I'm sorry you have such a short time between shifts. I understand needing the money and insurance but I sure wish you had another option. It's amazing how quickly we get out of balance without a "regular" schedule.
I really haven't been on the Ritalin long but I managed to be more focused today than I have been in a while. I even remembered to make To Do lists, which I've been too scattered to even try to do lately. I'm still not sure about the med, but I'm giving it a shot!
