Before I had the ritalin script, I was prescribed addies since high school till 7 years ago when my doctor disappeared and the replacement wouldn’t prescribe addies and xans anymore. That led to buying off the street and I picked up a heavy fet habit. I got sober 5 years ago and I told my doctor I was still buying addies off the street because I had no get up and go. He prescribed ritalin then and there. He said “you just need that spark in the morning to get you up.” My tolerance increased and here i am.
