Off Label Use is Contraindicated

SO I WENT TO THE HEAD SHRINK-Y DOC YESTERDAY TO TALK ABOUT MY ADHD AND HE PRESCRIBED ADDERALL AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THE GENERIC EQUIVALENT FOR ADDERALL IS PLAIN OLD AMPHETAMINE SO NOW I HAVE LIKE 90 OF THOSE AND HOLY CRAP THEY ARE AWESOME AND I’M SUPPOSED TO TAKE 1-2 2X/DAY, BUT I MAY HAVE EXCEEDED THE RECOMMENDED DOSE JUST NOW.

Well, not really.

Truth be told, I took one pill yesterday afternoon and within two hours I had fallen asleep in a chair. So I don’t think it (the speed) has the same effect on me as it might on a “normal” person. We’ll see how it goes.

Which is not to say the this stuff doesn’t scare the crap out of me. Hey, I’ve seen that Montana Meth Project and all those scary ads. Last thing I want is to end up having sex with a middle aged man in a dirty motel.

My hope is that it’s a clean motel.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
