"diagnosed in 1992 adhd &amp; prescribed ritalin. before i took ritalin, i was forgetful, daydreamed, moody, couldn&#039;t focus for long, did soft drugs, drank alcohol, smoked cigs., and was negative minded. now, i do none of the above. it makes me feel motivated to go to work, everyday, and i read novels from page 1 to the last page. before, i never had the patience  to read past page 1. my doc. prescribes me 60 mg. per day. to start my day, i take 1- sr20mg. with 1-10mg; then 4hrs. later, i take 1-10mg.; then 4hrs. later i take 1-sr20mg. the problem is, after the first 8hrs., i know i need a 10mg. for the next 4hrs. but my doc. won&#039;t prescribe me over 60mg. per day cause he thinks that is the max. per day allowed. any suggestions?"
