Methylphenidate(Ritalin) +medical break?

Posted by chinaboy on February 19, 2014, at 22:26:27

I went to visit my pdoc this morning, and he found out that I also have severe ADHD! So he prescribed Methylphenidate(Ritalin) Sustained-release(18mg/day) And he said it would help with my anhedonia and extremely low motivation. Is this true?
I've heard that Methylphenidate(Ritalin) requires some "break", which means there are take some days when I should be off it regularly to avoid its tolerance problem. Is this true?
Can you please tell me more about Methylphenidate(Ritalin) treating depression?
Now I'm on 40mg of Paxil+18mg of Methylphenidate(Ritalin). Is this combo reasonable?
