> I found ritalin to be really helpful to get me up and moving in the morning. It is a good and underused AD augmenter at low dosages. (As long as you dont' use to excess and have a hx of addiction to uppers)
I have used ritalin to get up in the morning for years. I use it as an antidepressant because I have not found anything else I can take that works at all.
I am trying to find an article or study about its use as an antidepressant because my prescribing doctor now does not believe me.
Can anyone direct me to any links with articles or studies about the use and/or efficacy of ritalin as an antidepressant? Not as adjunctive therapy.
Thanks,
