I always feel like I am in a daze, I get really shaky sometimes, and cannot concentrate on anything. I feel tired, and get dark circles underneath my eyes. I also will start talking really fast, and know I'm talking too fast but can't control it. It is embaressing. Does this happen to anyone else other than me? I am sick of it. At times I feel dizzy as well. It's weird.

I have a sore throat and my skin hurts like I have a fever. I have exams tomorrow and I really don't want to be feeling like this in the morning. Any suggestions? I already anticipate getting plenty of sleep. Should I exercise? Am I supposed to continue to eat normally or do I restrict my diet?

When I'm aroused and sexually excited, I leak a lot of precum. It just flows out, like a leaking faucet. This isnt something I can ask my buddies about so I'm wondering, is this normal? I've heard guys mention their "drop of precum" but never none has ever mentioned their precum "flowing like a river." Also, it seems the more precum I have, the more I actually ***. So I'm wondering, how much precum is normal?

Took *15 mg a day for ten years. Can't stop. I fall asleep if I stop. Jackass drs. say taper off. It ain't that easy, if at all. Half-life catches up, causes me to pass out into seizures. Jack=*** doctor. now says I have epilepsy. I take tegritol for that, but I KNOW IT'S ONLY TO STOP SEIZURES OF VALIUM WITHDRAWEL.

I have started meeting guys though the personals. Something happened reciently that made me wonder if I shouldn't just be up front about my illness right away. Normally I like to wait cause I want the person to see me as a person and not my illness but I am wondering if I should tell the guy because I DON'T handle things well when I am messed with emotionally.

Ok Iam getting the gust of both sides. Iam a kid who takes ritalin while concentrating with schoolwork. I do notice that it really does help alot when taking tests and doing schoolwork. It is a complete power house to taking it than compared to not when focusing. Iam hearing that Ritalin causes shrinkage of the brain and degenerates it. Is this most likely a rumor or am i worrying too much?

For the last week, I've been doing at least 60 minutes of cardio (elliptical and treadmill) each day, sometimes doubling that. I've also been doing some light weights, low weight, high reps (about 3 reps of 8). Does this sound like a good plan? Any tips on accelerating fat loss? I really need to get into a special dress for New Years so I need to lose at least 10 pounds in the next two weeks. Advise?
