Hi P
I'm sorry that you're feeling so bad. I know you don't want to hear this but I have to be honest. I think your alcohol, diazepam and Ritalin use is contributing to a decline in your mental health. You are tolerant to the beneficial effects of Ritalin but are suffering side effects. A gradual taper will be necessary to avoid withdrawal symptoms. I believe that you need to avoid stimulants from now on. They have not provided you with a long term solution to your problems. Alcohol, which often provides short term relief, can ruin your mental health in the long run. Seconal is not the answer. Dexedrine is not the answer. I am sure of this.
You need to find a new treatment for your anxiety, insomnia, depression and ADD. There are many options, both medical and non-medical.
You *can* get better.
Kind regards
Ed
