In reply to Ritalin and increased depression ?, posted by ben on July 31, 2001, at 3:44:52
Hi Ben,
I tried Ritalin for depression and fatigue, and yes, it DID make my depression much worse, right away. My psychiatrist had me stop taking it; she said stimulants can cause mood swings in some people.take care; I hope this helps,
cindy> Can Ritalin increase depression ? I am trying Ritalin (5-10 mg) to 30 mg Paxil because I am very tired of Paxil. I feel some worsening of depression (sadness, motivation..) but I am not sure if its from the Ritalin or just a mood swing (i am unipolar perhaps bipolar II) of which I had severals.
