Depression
"It was twenty years ago that I read a newspaper article of scientific nature. The article described me - depressed and having to push myself to get up in the morning. My energy level was low and my motivation almost non-existent. I took the article to my G.P. and she agreed to give me Ritalin. When my doctor left her practice without providing a new G.P., I had a lot of difficulty getting a new doctor who would prescribe the Ritalin. The first doctor I tried would not prescribe it. After slipping backward to my old non-productive life I found a doctor willing give it to me on a limited basis. I had to take a test for ADD. Then he gave me 10mg a day. It didn&#039;t help me. Finally I found a doctor who gave me what I needed - 20mg twice a day."
