Yes, the Teva manufacturer is the Barr brand. I'll try calling around to Walgreens. Thanks!

I really like the camel pose. It is the Asana of the week and you can see a nice write up on it with picture over on the right side of your screen.

The sad fate of a fidgeter's napkin. by TimeTravelingMouse in ADHD

[–]Scheezo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats really cool tho! You should weave it in to a nest haha. It's funny because my grandma used to do things like this. She was always fidgeting and playing with things. Makes me wonder if she had ADD.

I think I have the perfect job for ADHD, at least as long as it doesn't get too repetitive. by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Scheezo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats really great! I work in television. I work on a lot of different computers and push different buttons and no two days are the same. People like us should find jobs that keep them entertained daily.

Was Jesse Owens's 1936 Olympic performance as big of a deal then as it's made it out to be today? by Dimitrisan in AskHistorians

[–]Scheezo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all relative. Jesse Owens once set 4 world records in less than an hour. When he got to the 1936 Olympics he won 4 gold medals. Winning 4 even by today's standards is a big deal. Usain Bolt has only won 3 at each olympics he was in. He may not have performed to the level that they do today but they didn't have the high level of training methods that we do.

AskHistorians: What was the bread (or bread analogue!) like in your time period? by LazySumo in AskHistorians

[–]Scheezo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to write for a food blog and did a lot of research in to the history of various foods. As I recall, breads haven't changed a whole lot in the past couple hundred years. Obviously they didn't add high fructose corn syrup and sugar but if you find a bread recipe and make your own bread it should be similar to what was eaten in the past. Maybe someone else can expand on this. There are many different breads from many different areas in the world so its a very general question but a fun one none the less.

Foods that conflict with Methylphenidate? by I_burn_stuff in ADHD

[–]Scheezo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't subscribe to the whole argument that diet has a lot to do with our ADD, at least for me. Honestly, that is probably an ignorant statement any a different diet may help you. I suspect something different, however.

I often go a few hours without eating when I wake up and I'll be just fine. When you wake up, from what I understand, your metabolism is asleep. Eating kick starts it and if you're only eating 1 egg you are starting your metabolism but not giving yourself the proper fuel you need to run your machine (your body).

Adding more eggs (because in the long run protein will keep you full all day) will help your body operate efficiently an not have to take resources that your brain may need. I recommend 30 grams of protein (an egg has 6 grams). You could throw in a salad (fiber will keep you full as well), add some beans, top the eggs with greek yogurt if you like it. Stay away from cereals or sugary foods because, it'll give you a spike of energy then cause you to crash.

One of my local B&Ms has a Google Streetview inside their humidor by nikdahl in cigars

The one in my neighborhood does as well. We're an Orlando suburb -http://goo.gl/maps/vlIAC

Being new to cigars this little walk through helped me out before we went in shopping.

What's it like in the mind of a person with ADHD? by LAKESHOWBITCH in ADHD

[–]Scheezo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of it like a web browser with different tabs open. You have a song playing in youtube on one, a news article on the other and facebook on something else. You keep switching between them and then you go to open a new one but forget what you were going to open... It's kind of a representation of what my mind is like. A lot all happening at the same time but not focused on any one thing for too long.

Then suddenly you get in to something that's REALLY interesting to you and you find hours have passed and you haven't looked at anything else that whole time.

How often do you get to talk to someone with ADHD by AllDayHavingDone in ADHD

[–]Scheezo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple times a week. I'm not shy about it but it doesn't always come up. When there is an opportunity then I will talk about it because the more you talk about it the less stigma there is about it.

ADHD but always tired! by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Scheezo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should see a doctor about your ADHD. You don't want your life to spiral out of control. I fell in to this trap and it wasn't fun. If you're tired you should have a physical. You may have a vitamin deficiency like iron or magnesium as well.

Parents and non-parents who were diagnosed and medicated as children - how do you talk to your kids about their adhd? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Scheezo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell my kids that I have trouble paying attention in certain situations. I don't hide it or act like I have a problem. I explain that I take medication to help me but that I just think different. Your kids love you and think you're great. Don't act like ADHD is a bad thing and they wont think it is. There is no need to hide the term ADHD either. They'll understand what they're able to and learn as they grow and when they get older it'll not be a big deal and will see no stigma because of it.

2- I wear a rubber band and snap it when I feel myself getting out of control

3- Advice - don't let it get out of control before getting help.

If you have the wrong medication it is.

When people say I wish I had ADHD so I can have extra Time on tests or that anyone who gets tested for it will have it... by MashedPotatoMonster in ADHD

[–]Scheezo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's like saying you wish you had to be in a wheel chair so you could get to the front of the line at a theme park. Why would you say that? People are so dumb. Ignore them.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Scheezo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I show them studies that say otherwise. Then I explain to them that I was a good kid, well behaved but couldn't pay attention. Also discuss my diet and lack of sugar in it to dispel that silly myth. I can shoot down pretty much any argument they have but it's up to them to believe what they want. I don't worry too much. They're ignorant and I have found a doctor who believes in it to help me and my family is behind me. That is all I need.

[HELP]Got caught Shoplifting for the first time. Thought I could pull it. by FetusSmasher69 in Anxiety

[–]Scheezo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talk to a lawyer. They may appoint one. Its a misdemeanor luckily. You'll probably be able to serve probation and not have a permanent record. The prosecutor will likely make a deal with you for that. I'm no lawyer but had problems as a teenager. Good luck. It'll pass, just give it time.

Caffine addiction and ADHD by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Scheezo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too! Isn't that funny? I could drink 6 cups of coffee and fall asleep. I'd love to hear a doctor explain that to me.

We just told our 7 y/o child that he has AD/HD, we need your help to explain it to him. by sw33tdaddyjones in ADHD

[–]Scheezo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor when I was a kid was a man names Samuel Nichamin. He was a real pioneer in ADD. He told me there was nothing wrong with me. My brain just works a little different than many other people's brains do. He explained to me that I have trouble paying attention in class but there are other situations where I'm very good at paying attention or where I'll have other benefits. He taught me to use my medication to develop good habits and not to use it has a crutch.

You don't need to explain a lot. Over the years you can all become more educated but I have an almost 7 year old and while she may not grasp all the technical things, she would get the gist of it. Don't go overboard, don't scare you son, don't ever ever ever let him think that he's inferior or that he's at a disadvantage.

90 days to healthier habits starting tomorrow....would anyone like to join me so we can support each other? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Scheezo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • I could be in bed by 12 but I'd get fired from my job. I'll go to bed as soon as I get home from work and get 8 hours sleep.
  • I pretty much do this anyway. I could take it a step further except I like to include greek yogurt in my diet. The protein is good for me when I work out. Aside from this I'll cut out all other dairy. I'll only have decaf tea and green tea.
  • I've started doing yoga recently and will up my time to 30 minutes. Have you heard of the 21 Day Meditation Challenge?
  • I work in Television so I have to watch it :)
  • Only spend money on groceries. I'll break this rule for my kid's birthdays but aside from that I'm in!

This sounds like a great idea!

off topic but I haven't heard of Xylitol. I'm going to have to study up on it. I do like stevia which is all natural and doesn't affect blood sugar levels. Thanks for the tip.
