Depression
"I started taking Ritalin about three months ago for my treatment-resistant depression, and it&#039;s been absolutely great, better than any antidepressant I&#039;ve had so far (SSRIs, tricyclics etc). I take one 10mg pill in the morning, in combination with one 150mg Bupropion.
This has been a pretty good combination, and very unusual here in Australia, since neither of these drugs are used to treat depression here, so I have a private script and use them off-label. I&#039;m so glad my psychiatrist put me on to Ritalin, it just makes me come alive. Originally, I was to take it off-and-on on &#039;busy days&#039; for energy, but now I take it everyday. I don&#039;t have any side-effects, and I&#039;d highly recommend it."
