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!

So, it sounds like it may be helping but it will take more time to tell. A to do list is about where I am as well but actually doing anything on it has not happened. If you find it has more of a positive effect would you please keep me posted. I see my neurologist today but not my pdoc for a week or two. If you end up being able to focus and function more it just might work for me, too. I think I'd be more receptive to adding another drug with feedback from someone other than my doctor. It's not that I don't trust or have faith in him, it's just that when I get feedback from people here, I know they have nothing to gain by slanting their opinion. He wants me to see my neuro to rule out a small stroke or TIAs. He believes the problems with confusion are depression related but wants to rule out physical issues before changing anything. I agree but feel like my time is limited. I can almost feel my studio closing in a few months because I'm unable to produce even a billing statement. Next month will be out 7th anniversary. If I haven't had a stoke that surely would do it. Thanks, again, for your help. It is invaluable.
