I was a little disappointed to hear that the ritilin does infact lose its effectiveness over time.I have read that ADHD people can usualy take ritalin for very long periods (many years) and not have it wear off. If your problem was not just ADHD but depression from some other cause, then it is understandable if the stimulating effect would wear off fairly quickly. This is why they won't prescribe ritalin for depression generally, it is not an effective treatment long term unless you have ADHD.
