I could never sit still for too long. And I would always feel bored. And I have to be honest that I did have a friend who had Ritalin 20 LA [and this might have been a stupid move on my part] but since I failed on Divalproex, for the sole reason that it did help the mood swings ALOT, BUT I felt zombie-like, the motivation for everyday activities went way below zero. The SSRI's made me extremely irritable. And secondly, I always found a good couple of strong cups of coffee calmed me down while still being able to be stimulated enough to do "stuff". So I tried the Ritalin LA and MY GOODNESS, its was the best I have felt in all my life.
It was such a peaceful feeling. But on the downside, while it calmed my head [CNS] my heartrate went up moderately and my hand tremor got worse. I dunno what this means. I never tried teh ritalin again, but its made me wonder if I would benefit from a stimulant-moodstabilizer combo? I am not depressed, the symptoms I described in my first post does make me alittle down sometimes.
