I forgot to mention. Ask some ADD people about burn out from stimulants. Even if the peaks and valleys were not pronounced before perhaps now they are, and you did not even know. You will have to do something different with your ritalin since it may make you more dysphoric.
Stimulants can trigger mixed moods and manias as well. Even if you need them there could be a time to lay off or take a holiday and do something else in the meantime. I am not sure though, so hit up the more experienced people for their tales.
Dopamine agonists {antiparkinsonians} and strattera may be some viable options.
