I'm not sure why you've gotten such judgmental responses. Messing with your medication isn't a good idea, but it's obvious you're in pain. If stimulants help with your depression as well as your ADHD, killing two birds with one stone makes sense. What dose are you presently supposed to be taking (as opposed to what you've actually been taking)?
There is a long-acting (once-a-day) stimulant, Cylert (pemoline), that is sometimes used for ADHD. It's "smoother" than Ritalin.
I don't know of any evidence that people taking stimulants for ADHD develop tolerance to them.
