Well the only difference between methylphenidate (Ritalin) and Adderall, is that Ritalin allows the mind to release epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine, as well as dopamine. But i don't think that its the best idea to take Ritalin or Adderall as an anti depressant. I believe it would be a better idea to use Adderall. It was made to be used on antidepressant people and potential ADD/ADHD patents. nevertheless, in my experience as a research student on Ritalin and other ADD/ADHD suppressants is that just taking Desipramine(Dopamine) had the worst effect on the largest amount of users. What can i say, i don't have first person experiences, but i have read countless articles, and interviewed many people including some UCI med school lecturers, and also some ADD diagnosed people. Hopefully this will be helpful.
