I came off Ritalin for stupid reasons (I was taking 4 meds and could only afford 3). I chose to stay on lithium, Effexor and mirtazapine and drop Ritalin. I have relapsed in many ways coming off of it.
I have lost confidence in my ability to get things done. This has filtered through to my job choices (turning down decent jobs that require a lot of paperwork / deskwork). In some ways this may not have been a bad idea (sitting for long periods of time on stimulants can't be great for the body). However, depression has returned as small tasks take me FOREVER to get done.
The only time I can sit to watch a movie is when I am using pot. Although a bit impractical, certain doses of THC do actually improve my attention / hyperactivity.
