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.
