    To start off Ill tell you a bit of my history with ADD meds. First like 2-3 years ago SWIM started railing Focalin and got hooked to it and he was doing lots each week and would run out of pills before the month ended alot. He decided to stop doing them because he was addicted and did not want to die. I told my doctors, mom and therapist/psychiatrist that I wanted to stop because I was hallucinating and feeling ill from it. (I did feel ill sometimes and my mom could tell but those were comedowns from snorting shitloads of it.)

    So then his scrip was cancelled and he has been on several different meds for his ADD for awhile but none have worked because none were stimulants, well that changed a few days ago when my friend gave SWIM like 6 Concerta for my old phone. SWIM was like "Oh what the hell!" so SWIM chewed a few up and he has like 1 left but I took one in school today and it really helped him. SWIM is doing really good now because of it but wants to get a scrip, but his therapist thinks he will have hallucinations from it.

    What do I do? Do I just admit I was abusing it and lied about feeling ill? Or does SWIM just keep buying em off friends? SWIM really doesnt want to abuse those meds any more because speed fucked him up for awhile and made him uncontrollably angry and abusive. This is making SWIM really depressed becuase now the drug is making his life perfect but he has no way of getting it every day unless he forks over about 2-5 bucks each day. :(

    Get a new doctor who doesn't know about your "feeling ill." Simply tell them, when they take your medical history, that you used to take Focalin, but stopped when it wasn't necessary at that time in your life. Casually bring up that you think it WOULD be helpful in your life now for school/university or whatever it is you want it for.

    Say that you lied about your hallucinations, and just say that you just didn't want to take them at the time, and that now you feel they could benefit you.
