Scott - My pdoc thinks it might have some mood brightening effect for me as well as helping me get out of bed in the mornings, which I struggle with, but the Ritalin has been working just fine for me in that regard. She has had some of her other patients respond well, and now I think she wants to let me test drive Provigil also. It is just that I've been stable for quite a while now and I really don't want to derail it by taking away a med that we know works for me and throwing one in the mix that doesn't even work on the same neurotransmitter. I'm also afraid I'll lose my ability to focus and concentrate that I get with the Ritalin.
