That doesn't mean it will do anything for a non-ADD adult who just wants to be more motivated and focus better. What about these kids that will take so much over the counter medicine that they barf, just so they get enough DXM to hallucinate? LindaH #3 posted February 3, 2010 at 4:52pm (EST)   Yep.

I noticed if I drink just a little bit of alcohol, I get more focused and motivated, and feel like that's how motivated and focused I should be feeling all the time. I wonder how I can get that way without having to drink beer all day

If it interferes with occupational and social functioning, then it is a problem. If it is merely annoying to petty people, then it isn't a problem. Next page (only 10 shown here)
