In reply to Re: Pdoc started me on Ritalin for TR Depression, posted by linkadge on January 18, 2008, at 22:25:09
I've been on ritalin for years for trd. I started it for hypotensive episodes with parnate. 5mg and I would be like a rocket for an hour or two than a huge downer and I would start crying.
I only take the time released stuff so I do not get so up and down. It seems to where off after about 8 hours so I take it twice a day. It does not affect my sleep. My old psychopharmocologist said ritalin has some mood elevating effects but some of the other stimulants have much more.
When I don't take it I usually don't get out of bed so it helps me some. I do get more nervous and talking though.Good Luck
