 JS> 1.      Have you ever met anyone who was addicted to Ritalin?
No, I haven't.  (Btw, I *am* K'tir; I goofed up and uploaded the wrong
packet to the wrong name.)
 JS> 2.      Why would a natural/herbal remedy (e.g., opium, cocaine) be
 JS> less addictive than a chemically produced one, assuming equivalent
 JS> potency? 
Because it might work better with me.  Remember that I said what was in
my record --that medications may *not* work with me?  That's true; I found
out the hard way with antihistimines.  I can't take Tavist; chlor-trimeton
makes me sleepy; and it seems that Seldane is the only one I *can* take
without side effects.  (I just wish it wasn't a 'script drug.  :< )
Caffeine calms me down, but I *hate* coffee; I've come up with a solution
for that--20 oz. bottles of Diet Coke.  (This way I can control how much
I have in one day.)
Also, I've made a compromise with Mom:  go on a trial of Ritalin and see
what happens.  It *could* be the same drug that made me a zombie (Mom's 
wording) so long ago when I was first diagnosed, but then.....
