Paul,
You may have developed a tolerance to Ritilin. THis is common. Very common for depression.
Even with Dexamphetamine it can happen, i take only 20mg, im prescibed 30mg but i dont want to develop a tolerance. 20mg causes some alertness, and attention but not much on mood. 40mg does increase mood, some people take 60mg of dexedrine, those kind takes a long time to work with a doctor.
Have you heard of L-Tyrosine? its an amino acid that you can buy at the supplement store. It is the precursor to dopamine and norephinerine, so it would increase the amount in your nerve synapse.
How has your dexedrine option been with your doctor?
I think Dexedrine would be better for you. Methylpheidate on depression is really not that effective. Dexedrine used to be posted for depression in the 60's and 70's.
Have you taken a small dose of Valium with Ritilin? like 2mg or 5mg?
Just seeing how your doing...
Matt
