Amphetamines: Every human who would try amphetamines such as Concerta would have similar things to say.

Your description of your reaction to Concerta gives us further evidence that this is drug abuse and obsession. It is evidence that you are self medicating. People who truly have add would never describe their experience this way. 

Please do not abuse this drug.  Please seek out an expert to test you for add.

Question 7

is gold crown bad or good?

Accepted Answer

Great, unless front!: Even with a the fancy materials dentists have to chose from to fabricate crowns from, you'll find that many dentists select cast high Nobel gold crowns for themselves when the tooth isn't in the esthetic zone! The answer is that gold wears like natural tooth structure, is kind to the opposing teeth and is very biocompatible. So gold molar crowns are great!  Ask ur dentist about front teeth!

Accepted Answer

Not important: Gold is a wonderful restorative material for teeth. However, many patients shy away from it due to cost and "looks". Acceptable alternatives include dental amalgam, composite resin (both directly placed and indirectly made) and high strength porcelains. Don't be afraid to ask about alternatives and get the full story on them before you make the decision as to what is best for your situation.

Chrohn's Disease: Colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy allow the doctor to directly view the large intestine, which is the lower part of the digestive tract.

They can be used to assess the severity of any inflammation. Colonoscopy is the most important.
