> Second day on Concerta - absolutely more 'even' than Ritalin. I am taking the starting dose - 18 mg in the morning. Also, remember, I'm on a somewhat high dose of Depakote - 2000 mg. I have switched to taking 1000 mg at night, and 1000 in the morning as Mitch suggested - I do believe it keeps me more even. Thanks Mitch! (was taking all at night).

Hi,Glad that is working fairly well! Keep us tuned in. Your writing definitely seems bright and clear (I can tell a difference). I am on a little Imipramine, I am going the cheap-ass route! I won't be able to tell diddly for another week or so how it will work-if it works as well as desipramine did with less anxiety I will be happy with it.
good luck,
Mitch
