You're absolutely right Ashley, about the smoking, particularly regarding individuals with A.D.H.D. Now that I'm off my med.'s both my smoking and drinking have increased dramatically.Clearly I'm substituting nicotine for methylphenidate and alcohol for clonazepam and seroquel. I realize of course that this is a precarious balance and one which I cannot maintain indefinitely. Bear with me while I sort it out. Frankly, I'm just not in the mood to type an essay about such issues at the moment. That is of course not your fault, but my problem. I really do appreciate your very applicable response. It at least seems to bespeak the language of science. Ultimately,. that's all I have. It's my only lifeline. AQ.D.H.D. Man (John). Thanks, again. I'm feeling a little low; so I do indeed truly appreciate it. .
