I stopped taking Ritalin when I got a bad dizzy spell, I can't tolerate the crashes anymore. Only thing that sucks is in the morning I am SOOOO lethargic. I miss it, but I'd rather be less stressed during the day, even if I feel like crap. This sucks. I know there are worse things in life, but no one should have to go through this. Sorry for the self-pity rant.

Hey maybe a low dosage of ritalin will work cause thats what I had to do cause I was feeling like you was with the dizzy spell and my doctor put me on a 5mg which is much better but now its takes longer to work cause I stop taking ritalin for a while and now that Iam back on it its taking so long for it too work.huggs

Yeah, I'm gonna try Vyvanse again, my doc told me she could make a case for me with my ins. co., but I was so confused when she talked to me about it. She said either I would need prior authorization and she would fax them something or I could fill it, which means probably paying a fortune, don't even know if I'd get reimbursed. Urggghhh, so frustrating. I almost don't even wanna bother, my pharmacy prob. thinks I'm a nutcake as it is.

Ugh, well as I have learned, pharmacy's are more of the nutcakes than any individual. (and I doubt you are even near that *hugs*).

I hope the authorization can be done. I don't think it's a big processes. It just takes more than just the usual pick up script and fill and take. It has the added beginning part. (I dont think you have to do it each and everytime you get it filled. )
Is there one that you can take, that doesn't require a pre-auth?
