Doctor put me on Ritalin to pull me out
| Tue, 12-07-2004 - 8:13pm |
I had a very bad "down" episode a few months ago and my Doctor put me on Ritalin to try to "pull" me out. I have been feeling great, but maybe a bit manic. Has anyone ever taken it before?

Yes, because I am also blessed with ADHD. I didn't get diagnosed with ADHD until I was 36 and Ritalin changed my life! Now, 7 years later, I haven't been taking it for awhile, first because I was having a lot of agitation and anxiety associated with my depression, and my pdoc thought the Ritalin might be contributing to it. Then this summer things became more clear when i started cycling into hypomania, and now he definitely doesn't want me to take it for fear that it will
