Thanks to everyone who has posted. Now that I've been on Ritalin for several days I find that the euphoria has subsided and I'm just a lot more focused. Partly, too, my euphoria was the result of a "Hey, this stuff really works!" kind of reaction. I've found that I don't need the maximum daily dose of 15 mg, I just take 5 in the morning and five in the mid-afternoon, since I like to work in the evenings. It hasn't seemed to mess up my sleep, which was a major worry. This seems to be the way to go at this point, though I may look into dropping my Cymbalta back to 60 from the current 90 after I'm sure about the way things are going.
Lou, thanks for your concern, but I'm honestly not interested in another video about how awful psychoactive drugs are. I've done a lot of research and I know the risks. Everything has risks, but the decisions I'm making are informed decisions & made in consultation with four different medical practitioners working in consultation with each other and with me. One of these docs I've been seeing for 20 years & I have more than once trusted him with my life. I understand your point of view, but with all due respect I am just not interested.
