Ritalin

My pdoc has given me 10 mg of ritalin in the am to energize me.  It does, but only for about 5 hours.  By 2 o'clock or so I'm back in the same hole of depression that I wake up in.  Is this a good thing to get 5 hours of normalcy then back to feeling terrible?  I guess so.  I'll take all the "feeling good" I can get.  It would be nice just to get one day of feeling ok.

PS  I tried the extended release ritalin 20mg and couldn't sleep at all.  Felt pretty shaky during the day, too, with crying fits often.

I guess I/we will keep working to get this right.  I'm too young to give up and too determined to turn my life around.
