The doctor who prescribes Ritalin wants me to continue taking it. The psych facility added Strattera while I was off the Ritalin. Right now I'm taking both and so far I'm doing well and feeling well. There's no interaction between the two as I checked on drugs.com. When I'm off Ritalin, I get lethargic, depressed, lack focus and follow-through, and am generally super lazy. This is why I would prefer to stay on my med. The social worker doesn't get it. She sees Ritalin as a bad drug that I'm abusing, which isn't the case. I need to stop running to the hospital for every little mental annoyance is what I need to do because that's when things start going topsy turvy for me in a bad way.
