Hi Linkadge,
Hey, you mentioned in a previous thread about stimulants that you had taken Ritalin as monotherapy.
I was just curious, what were the doses? How long? Why did you stop?
I've tried Ritalin briefly and have a bottle of it to play with and could get it renewed if I wanted. My trials were too short. Here's what happened...
First, my doses were probably too low. First dose of the day was 5mg. Nice antidepressant effect. When it wore off, the second 5mg dose didn't do nearly as much as the first. When that wore off, the 3rd dose didn't do anything except create anxiety. So I was scared off. Maybe my doses were too low? Or maybe I'm one of those that just builds tolerance way too fast?
I was interested in your experience with it.
