I develop a tolerance to certain effects but not others.
For mood, I only use methylphenidate as a booster - usually when I feel so hopeless that I think nothing can help.
The benefit of ritalin for me is that it (as long as I'm not taking it daily) it will boost my mood very reliably. I find it helps the most when my mind is racing. I will go into a completely darkened room and take maybe 2.5-5mg.
(basically sensory deprivation + ritalin).
I don't crash per se on ritalin. Usually I feel better the next day. I do notice that with repeated use, I can become a bit more sensitive to lights and sounds.
