My daughter took both Ritalin and Adderall for depression. The Adderall was better for her because it was "smoother"; however, both of these drugs gave her an initial "high" which wore off after a week or so. She tried increasing the dose to achieve the same relief, but eventually came off both Ritalin and Adderall because they always lost their effect. She also had concern about the addictive properties of both these drugs when taken in higher doses for an extended period of time. If the effect of Adderall had lasted at a constant dose, she would have continued taking it. For the short period of time the Adderall worked, she said it was the best she had ever felt.
