"Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)" is a single from Chevelle's album This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In). In interviews, it has been stated that "Vitamin R" is Ritalin. The song was written about a friend of the Loeffler brothers, who was misdiagnosed with ADHD, and developed an addiction to Ritalin. As a result, he would often do crazy and odd things, such as drive around aimlessly for hours, determined to hear a specific song on the radio.

The song's music video revolves around imagery seen in the items in a cubicle. The images become real, life size landscapes that vocalist Pete Loeffler is seen drifting through.
