Hey! Thanks, that was a very wholesome read. I usually just lurked around reddit but lemmy is lemmy :)
I think the brand name is Concerta/Ritalin and apparently it's been connected to heart failure. And obviously has dependency concerns but... Yeah I'm probably worrying too much.
I don't drink alcohol at all or smoke anything, but I do take too much caffeine. I'll start to reduce it not only for myself but also because my shrink said that, while it's not absolutely necessary, I should try to cut back.
Maybe I'm confusing fear with excitement. :)
