Will you be able to join the marines if you start to take your Concerta again? If so, and you feel it will be beneficial, then I would certainly start taking it again. I guess it all depends on if you can join the marines while on it. Good luck.

You may need to go back on it, it will help for concentration for studying. Here's a thought, go to college and get your degree. If you have a degree and enter the armed forces, I believe in all 4 branches you enter in as an officer. It was true for army and navy anyway because I considered both. Just and FYI

Well I know it will help, honestly its been so long since i've been off my meds that i feel normal. i'm kinda scared what i would turn into if i took it again.
i didn't like how it made me all blah. if you know what i mean.

I've still be thinking about the marines but i would have to take my piercings and let my gauges close up. and i don't want to do that, i feel like that stuff is a part of me.

but i want to go to school for psychology. and foreign languages.
sorry im kinda hyper and rambling on. oh well. xD

Also I don't know if this matters seeing as it was in the past but when i was little my adhd was bad. i took Ritalin then i also don't remember the mg's of it. but by the time i was in 6th i was on 54mg concerta.

again with the rambleing sorry.
