At least with the caffeine I can ingest the little twinge that I need without sending myself off the anxiety deep-end...Sudafed comes in one dose and that dose makes me think I'm going to have a heart attack, lol...<br /><br />And we're lucky we didn't run through the "harder" stimulants...I didn't anyway, and knowing what I know now, I know I would have loooooved cocaine. What a mess that would have been.18 Channelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841490256076600058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242031562910794955.post-17097740976659868322009-12-15T14:30:44.220-08:002009-12-15T14:30:44.220-08:00Oh, caffeine.

My parents gave up trying to not let me have it--I remember another adult seeing me drink some and my mom saying, no it doesn't make her hyper, it calms her down. <br /> I self medicated with caffeine my entire life before medication. And sudafed. Seriously--I thought I just liked the feeling of not being stuffed up, ever, but looking back I was clearly self medicating.<br />It feels so freeing not to need it anymore. I was scared of medication, until I realized I've been using stimulants my whole life, might as well take the right one.michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264570544226812477noreply@blogger.com
