Default Newer is not necessarily better
ol' cs-

Glad to have you back! And so cheerful, too!

Dexedrine is suuch an old drug, it makes me wonder about the mainstays of yesterday and if they really are made obsolete by those of today. The only ones I know of are the antihistamines, but I've got a book here somewhere...

If the side effects of the dex get to be too bad, remember that you can add in a sedative to balance it a little.

About the falling. Maybe tai chi?
