Hi,
Has anyone used Concerta or any of the other sustained release stimulants for depression? I've tried regular Ritalin but it only works for 3 hours and then I feel bad again. How long and good do the sustained release ones work?
I want to use it on a limited basis, only for a few days. I take Klonopin and Effexor but the Klonopin wears off after awhile and I need to give it (at least) a five day break so it has an effect again. It would be nice to be able to give it a 10 or 14 day break cause that would make it stronger, but I don't think any of the stimulants would work for that long in me, I develop tolerance quickly. It probably would help for 5 days though. I need something otherwise I get deeply depressed during those 5 day breaks.
